Expert Tips

Make the chocolate cups a day or two ahead of time. Cover loosely and store in a cool place. These festive desserts keep in the refrigerator up to two days. Sprinkle with the crushed candy just before you serve them.

You can purchase the chocolate shells instead of making them; look for shells at your supermarket.
