🍵 How to Make
Here are simple steps on how to make hot chocolate bombs with marshmallows that are decorated like unicorns.
Step 1: Place your silicone molds in the freezer. Then work on melting your white chocolate wafer chips. You can melt in the microwave, or use a double boiler.
Step 2: Place 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each sphere of the mold. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate around evenly. Repeat till all spheres have chocolate.
Gently tap the mold to help remove any air bubbles. Make sure to clean the top edge of the mold so that it is clean and will melt nicely to the other half of the sphere.
Step 3: Let the chocolate fully harden up. Fill half of the shell with cocoa mix, mini marshmallows, and any sprinkles or anything else you want in the cocoa bombs.
Step 4: Now heat a plate in the microwave for a minute. Sit one part of the chocolate sphere on the plate to melt the edge of it. This will act as the glue to stick the two circles together.
Step 5: Now you will use some melted white chocolate to glue on the eyes, horn, and flowers for the unicorn face.

- 1/2 cup Mini Marshmallows

- Flowers
- Unicorn Face Kit

Instructions
- Start by placing your silicone molds in the freezer. Then melt down your white chocolate candy melts. I did the microwave, heating in 30 second incriments.
- Now you will remove your silicone sphere mold, and add a tablespoon of chocolate to each mold. Use a spoon or brush to coat all areas of the mold. Repeat the process till all molds are filled with chocolate.
- Gently tap the mold to the counter to release any air bubbles. Then use a knife to run around the mold to make sure the top of the mold is free of excess chocolate. This is important to not make the top of your edge mis-shaped.
- Freeze chocolate until it has fully set up, or allow it to set up at room temperature.
- Once chocolate has hardened, carefully remove the white chocolate spheres from the mold.
- Now on one half you will add a tablespoon of cocoa powder and top with mini marshmallows.
- The other side of the chocolate you will heat a plate in the microwave for 45-60 seconds. Carefully remove the plate and place your empty sphere on to melt the chocolate slightly. Once the chocolate is melting a bit, piece it to the other hot cocoa filled side.
- The wet chocolate will act as glue to stick the two parts of the sphere together.
- With the leftover chocolate you can melt, and then use it to dip the unicorn eyes on, and use a toothpick to center them on the hot chocolate bomb. I used the dusting sugar on the cheeks for blush.
- Do the same with the unicorn horn, and flowers. Once decorated you are ready to use.
