- Lightly dust the tops of the chocolate cups with fine powdered sugar or edible glitter to enhance their elegance.
- Serve these chocolates on a mirrored tray to reflect their beauty and intricate details.
- For an extra touch of sophistication, garnish each cup with a small leaf of edible silver or gold.
