3. Once the chocolate has melted, pour equal amounts into each hole in the muffin tray. (about 2 spoons each).
4. Place the muffin tray in the freezer to harden the chocolate

6. Mix cream cheese and sour cream together with an electric mixer until smooth. (I found that putting the cream cheese in the microwave for 45 seconds help soften it up)
