6 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips 3 Tbsp Smucker's Seedless Red Raspberry Jam, or similar product
Instructions
1. Place chocolate chips in a small microwavable bowl and microwave on high, stirring every 15 seconds, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 1 minute. 2. Spoon 3/4 teaspoon of melted chocolate into one foil cup (1-inch wide by 3/4-inch high). Use a small flat paint brush to spread chocolate evenly over bottom and sides. Repeat with remaining cups, place them on a plate and refrigerate for 3 minutes or until chocolate is firm. (Note: Look for foil candy cups at stores that sell bakeware and kitchen gadgets.) 3. Spoon 3/4 teaspoon of jam into each chocolate-lined cup. Tap bottom of each cup on counter to settle jam. 4. Reheat remaining melted chocolate in microwave for 10 seconds on high. Stir and repeat microwaving until chocolate is completely smooth. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate over top of jam in one cup. Use brush to spread chocolate to sides so that it seals in jam. Repeat with remaining 11 cups. 5. Refrigerate 3 minutes or until chocolate is firm, or allow chocolate to firm up at room temperature, about 3 hours. Yields 1 cup per serving.
