How to make
Full directions on how to make pumpkin hot chocolate bombs are in the printable recipe card. This is a visual walk through on how it is made.
Step 1: Start by heating white chocolate in a bowl in the microwave. Between each heat cycle stir well. You want all the candy melts to completely melt.
Step 2: Now you will add around 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of chocolate to each silicone sphere mold. Use a spoon or brush to create an even layer all over the sphere and the sides of the mold. The chocolate will pool at the bottom inside of the mold. So make sure to spread it out pushing the chocolate to the open side of the spheres.
Step 3: Allow the chocolate to set up. You can carefully begin removing from the molds. Be careful as the chocolate can break. If you wear gloves it will protect against getting fingerprint smudges on the chocolate. You will find your finger tips will melt the chocolate quickly.
Step 4: In half of each sphere you will add in your pumpkin spice hot chocolate mix, and some mini marshmallows. Feel free to add in some pumpkin spice sprinkles to add a festive look. Or even candy corn for a great addition.
Step 5: Heat up a plate in microwave as directed. Then place the empty sphere on the plate to warm it up and gently melt the chocolate.
Step 6: Place the ball on top of filled ball and press lightly together. The wet chocolate will act as glue. If there is excess chocolate around the ball, just wipe it away. Use a toothpick to remove the small amount of chocolate around the edges.
Step 7: Heat up candy melts and then drizzle on top of each completed ball. Place the pumpkin on top before chocolate hardens. This is the perfect way to decorate your candy pumpkin hot chocolate bombs.
