Archer Farms Chocolate Cups

Archer Farms is a Target brand that I really like alot . Recently I found that Target was carrying several different types of Belgian chocolate cups in the baking aisle and I wanted to give them a try.
I mean, how can you go wrong with edible kitchenware?
They are small, and bite sized and make great containers for almost any sort of sweet that you can think of. Personally I am envisioning a lemon mousse next, maybe a ginger cheesecake filling..and the list goes on and on.
I made a puff pastry tart the other day and I filled it with a light mousse made from Lipton Vanilla Caramel Truffle tea. It was very caramelly and sweet…and yeah, I will be posting the recipe maybe tomorrow…but after I filled the tart I found that I had some left over. I had wanted to try these cups anyway…I am thinking about them for Erin’s baby shower May 30th. I have been working on menus for that and I am thinking a tea theme with sweet amuse bouche….in several varieties….
Sorry..back on track..
So I put the left over chilled mousse in the cups…each holds about two tablespoons. I dropped a drop of leftover ganache on each one..and as you can see they are cute and they were really…really ..really good.
The nice thing about them is that they look really cool so even if you just filled them up with Cool Whip you would have something on the special side! You will more than likely see these again on the blog. 
Oh, and they are not outrageously expensive. About 3.99 for 16 of them.

These would be excellent filled with ice wine as well:D
ooooo…Valli I like the way you think.
sweet! But are they dark chocolate?
Peggy I think the ones I got are milk..they have white chocolate marbled ones as well.
I love that Archer Farms brand, too! I’m going to have to find these little cups. They’re precious, and the options are endless!
Elyse Really nice to have around for a quick, impressive little something.
I’ve seen those and thought they were so cute and fun looking. Thanks for the report on them!
You are welcome Katrina. I was concerned they would be waxy but they weren’t too bad.
I too purchased the dessert cups and loved them. I have been visiting my local Targets to purchase some more and can’t find them anywhere. They also don’t appear on the Target or Archer Farms website. Any ideas on how to get more?
Lisa have you talked to the store manager? My Target is still carrying them. Maybe you can request them?
