Hot Chocolate Bombs are spheres of chocolate, filled with hot chocolate powder mix and marshmallows for a fancy and delicious hot drink on a cold night. We’re even giving you four extra flavor combinations!
Add 16 ounces of chocolate or candy melts into a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir until chocolate is just melted and smooth.
To fill the molds, add in a large spoonful of the melted chocolate and use the spoon to spread chocolate up the sides of the mold. Be sure to evenly coat the inside of molds and go to the brim on each. Scrape off any excess chocolate.
Refrigerate the chocolate for 10 minutes, or until it has completely set.
If the first layer appears too thin, add an additional layer of chocolate on top of the set layer and refrigerate until set.
Flip out chocolate from the molds. Even out the edges of half your chocolate molds by first bringing a small amount of water to a simmer in a saucepan, and setting a baking sheet on top of the saucepan. Once the baking sheet is hot, set the open side of the sphere on top of it to melt the sphere's edges for a few seconds until edges are even.
Set evened out sphere halves inside cupcake liners and spoon into each about 2 tablespoons of hot chocolate mix, 5-6 mini marshmallows, and a sprinkling of crushed candy canes (optional).
To seal filled and empty halves together, place edges of empty sphere halves on a baking sheet and set that on top of your pot of simmering water. Once edges are warm and melty, gently place them on top of your filled halves to seal, and let them cool completely.
Decorate away!
Set the bomb inside a mug and pour 1 1/2 -2 cups of hot milk over it until the exterior melts. Stir and enjoy!
