Description
Make fun Hot Chocolate Bombs perfect for cozy winter moments. These treats melt in hot milk to create rich, homemade hot chocolate instantly. They bring family joy to your kitchen.
Ingredients
- Semi-sweet chocolate: 12 ounces, melted
- Hot cocoa mix: 1/4 cup
- Mini marshmallows: 1/2 cup
- Sprinkles or cocoa powder for decoration: As needed
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time.
- Prepare silicone sphere molds by wiping them clean and dry.
- Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each mold half. Swirl the chocolate to coat the entire inside surface evenly.
- Scrape off any excess chocolate and chill the molds for 5 minutes until the chocolate sets slightly.
- Apply a second, thin layer of melted chocolate to reinforce the shells and chill again until completely firm.
- Gently remove the chocolate shells from the molds.
- Fill half of the shells with a teaspoon of hot cocoa mix and a few mini marshmallows.
- Warm a flat, clean plate in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Gently press the rim of an empty chocolate shell onto the warm plate to slightly melt the edge.
- Carefully place the melted rim onto a filled shell to seal the two halves together, forming a sphere.
- Decorate the top with extra melted chocolate drizzles, sprinkles, or a dusting of cocoa powder immediately.
- Let the finished bombs set completely before using them.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor and shine.
- Work in a cool room so the chocolate sets quickly.
- If the edges don’t seal well, reheat the rim of the empty half slightly more.
- These are wonderful gifts when packaged nicely.
