Place baking sheet with dipped balloons in refrigerator to set (about 30 minutes).Once balloons are set, release air from balloons: Pinch the balloon just under the knot and cut a small hole in the surface between fingers and knot. Gradually release the air. Be careful not to release the air too quickly or the bowls may break. Carefully peel the deflated balloons from the chocolate bowls.
