- 12 oz chocolate wafers, good quality
- 1/2 cup hot cocoa mix
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- Optional: Sprinkles, edible glitter, candy melts for decoration
- Melt chocolate wafers using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Stir until smooth.
- Pour about 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate into each half of a silicone sphere mold. Swirl to coat the sides evenly.
- Place the mold in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Apply a second coat of chocolate to the spheres, ensuring they are thick enough to handle. Chill again until firm.
- Carefully remove the chocolate spheres from the mold.
- Warm the rim of one half-sphere by placing it on a warm plate for a few seconds.
- Fill the warmed half-sphere with 1-2 tablespoons of hot cocoa mix and a few mini marshmallows.
- Warm the rim of a second half-sphere and place it on top of the filled half to seal, creating a full sphere.
- Decorate the bombs as desired with sprinkles or melted candy melts.
- To use, place one hot chocolate bomb in a mug and pour 8 oz of warm milk over it. Stir until fully melted and enjoy.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for best results and a shiny finish.
- Ensure your mold is clean and dry before adding chocolate.
- Tempering the chocolate is recommended for a professional finish, but not strictly necessary for home use.
- Get creative with your fillings! Add peppermint chips, caramel bits, or even a pinch of cinnamon.
