Ingredients

  • 8 ounces chocolate wafers
  • 3 tablespoons hot chocolate mix
  • 6 tablespoons marshmallow bits or mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • In a bowl you will melt your chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Do 15-30 second intervals, stirring between each heat cycle. Melt the chocolate until it is fully melted.
  • Add 1 heaping teaspoon to your silicone mold and use the back of the spoon to spread it all over the edges of the silicone sphere.
  • Invert the mold onto a parchment lined baking sheet and slightly shake. This will shake off the excess chocolate.
  • Place the molds in the freezer for around 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove the sphere mold from the freezer and gently push out the hardened chocolate.
  • Place the sphere halves on parchment. Fill one side of the circle with 1 tablespoon of hot chocolate mix, and about 2 tablespoons of mini marshmallows or marshmallow bits.
  • Then warm a plate in the microwave, and then sit one side of the empty chocolate on the plate to let it heat up. Then place it on the other side of circle, to stick the two together. The hot plate will melt the edges of the chocolate.
  • Then the hot chocolate bomb will stick together. You can also use chocolate as glue to stick the two circles together.
  • Then drizzle on chocolate, crushed pepperment, sprinkles, etc. Just add chocolate that is melted and then sprinkle with whatever you want to stick.
  • Then steam 1 cup of milk and put the hot chocolate bomb in a cup and pour warm milk over, and it will melt the chocolate. Stir and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use any type of candy melts or almond bark.
  • If you use regular chocolate chips add 1 teaspoon of shortening in, to help the chocolate harden up.
  • These will store for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
  • Decorate with chocolate, sprinkles, etc.
  • Use one cup of steamed milk or milk replacement to pour over the chocolate bombs in a mug.

Different Fillings

  • I used turquoise melting chocolate for the Unicorn hot chocolate bombs. I then drizzled with darker blue melting chocolate and then gold sprinkles.
  • For the others I did milk chocolate with white chocolate drizzle and crushed candy canes.
  • For the white chocolate bombs, I did simple sprinkles and a drizzle of white chocolate on each.
