Ingredients
Scale
- 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup hot cocoa mix
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- Silicone sphere molds
Instructions
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts.
- Brush a thin, even layer of melted chocolate inside each half of the silicone sphere molds.
- Place the molds in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Apply a second layer of melted chocolate to the inside of each mold for extra richness and strength. Chill again until fully firm.
- Carefully remove the hardened chocolate shells from the molds.
- Fill half of the chocolate shells with one teaspoon of hot cocoa mix and a few mini marshmallows.
- Gently melt the edge of an empty shell half by placing it briefly on a warm plate.
- Press the melted edge of the empty shell onto a filled shell to seal, forming a complete sphere.
- To use, place one hot chocolate bomb in a mug and pour 8 ounces of hot milk over it. Stir until fully melted and enjoy.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- If the chocolate melts too fast while assembling, return the shells to the fridge briefly.
- You can customize the filling with different spices like cinnamon or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
