Melting Chocolate
To achieve a smooth consistency, melt chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Use cupcake liners or a silicone mold to shape the mixture, pressing it down firmly to create a stable structure that holds its shape as it cools.
Cooling and Storage
Let the cups cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for a quicker setting. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
