Graveyard Molds

I was scrolling through amazon chocolate molds for inspiration for a recipe when I came across the graveyard molds. Once I saw them, I had the idea to make chocolate popcorn cups with them. These molds are super simple, as you just fill them with melted chocolate, freeze, and then you have gravestone chocolate! You can use these for more than just chocolate, such as for toppers on an ice cream sundae, on an appetizer board or pudding cups. Click here for the amazon link for gravestone molds.

Nutrition of Chocolate

Chocolate, especially dark varieties with a high cacao percentage, can offer nutritional and heart health benefits. It provides fiber, iron, magnesium, copper, and manganese, along with fats like stearic acid, which has a neutral effect on cholesterol, and oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that supports cardiovascular wellness (Healthline). Flavanols and polyphenols in chocolate act as antioxidants that may help lower blood pressure, improve circulation, and protect blood vessels from damage (Harvard Health). These compounds can enhance endothelial function, a key factor in maintaining a healthy heart. Although dark chocolate can be a heart-friendly indulgence, it is calorie-dense and may contain added sugars, so moderation is always key Because of this, for a healthier option, aim for chocolate with a higher percentage, as this means there is less added sugar and added ingredients.

Air Popped Popcorn
