Little Hollow Chocolate Footballs
Made from two half-shells joined together, these chocolate balls carry the classic black-and-white pattern of a football, and can even hide a few sweets inside. The textured cavities of the Mini Football Mould hold the dark chocolate that draws the pattern, before the white chocolate covers the rest.

Ingredients
Method
In the Tupperware MicroCook Pitcher 1 l, melt the dark chocolate broken into pieces for about 1 1/2 minutes at 360 W. Leave to stand for 1 minute with the lid on, stir with a thin silicone spatula, then wait a further 5 minutes or so.
Using the thin spatula, fill the raised patterns in each cavity of the Tupperware Mini Football Mould with the dark chocolate. Chill for 20 minutes, or freeze for 10.
Take the mould out and let it come back to room temperature while you melt the white chocolate broken into pieces for about 1 minute 50 seconds at 360 W. Leave covered for 1 minute, stir, then wait a further 5 minutes uncovered.
Pour about 25 ml (1 1/2 tbsp) white chocolate into the first cavity and spread it over the whole surface with a silicone brush. Do the same for the rest, then chill for 25 minutes.
Carefully turn out each half-shell, pressing on the back of the cavity with two or three fingers to spread the pressure evenly.
Gently warm a frying pan until it is just warm to the touch. Hold the rim of two half-shells against it for 1 to 2 seconds to soften the edges slightly.
Fill the inside if you like, join the two halves while lining up the pattern carefully, then leave to rest for about 15 minutes in the fridge before serving.
