Take about half a bag of the yellow chocolates and place them in a Ziploc bag, melt in 30-second intervals in the microwave until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Once melted, snip a tip off the bag and squeeze into the molds. Place the molds in the refrigerator for about a half hour to an hour to set up. Once they are firm, remove from the mold and use a butter knife to trim off any excess. I suggest placing these back in the fridge until you are ready to use them.Captain Marvel Jumbo CupcakesBake 6 Jumbo CupcakesNext up is preparing and baking the cupcakes.
