Create your own hollow chocolate spheres filled with cocoa mix and marshmallows that dissolve in warm milk to make rich hot chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Melt chocolate wafers using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Stir until smooth.
  2. Pour about 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate into each half of a silicone sphere mold. Swirl to coat the sides evenly.
  3. Place the mold in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
  4. Apply a second coat of chocolate to the spheres, ensuring they are thick enough to handle. Chill again until firm.
  5. Carefully remove the chocolate spheres from the mold.
  6. Warm the rim of one half-sphere by placing it on a warm plate for a few seconds.
  7. Fill the warmed half-sphere with 1-2 tablespoons of hot cocoa mix and a few mini marshmallows.
  8. Warm the rim of a second half-sphere and place it on top of the filled half to seal, creating a full sphere.
  9. Decorate the bombs as desired with sprinkles or melted candy melts.
  10. 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.
