before you squeeze the kisses out of the EAD. I buy the pretty little mini size designer cups made my Reynolds, that come in various seasonal designs. They are like your cup cake papers with the pleated sides. They seemed rather pricey at Michaels and JoAnn's
where they were made by the cake decorating mfg. I believe I paid about $1.49 for 100 in my local grocery store.
Note: by the time you have mixed in and melted the chocolate chips or whatever flavor you select, the "dough" has lost most of it's warmth. It is very plyable and easy to
stuff into the EAD with our Micro Scraper. It is a great recipe to demo at a party.
