Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate wafers (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
- 1 cup hot cocoa mix
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup festive sprinkles (for decoration)
- Optional: Additional chocolate for drizzling and toppings
Instructions
1. Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
2. Mold the Chocolate
Using a silicone mold (round or sphere-shaped), spoon a layer of melted chocolate into each cavity. Use the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate evenly along the sides, ensuring it’s thick enough to hold its shape. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes until set.
3. Fill the Bombs
Once the chocolate shells are set, carefully remove them from the molds. Place half of the chocolate shells on a work surface. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of hot cocoa mix into each shell, followed by a tablespoon of mini marshmallows.
4. Seal the Bombs
Heat a small plate in the microwave for a few seconds. Take the empty chocolate shells and gently press the open side onto the heated plate to melt the edges slightly. Quickly place it on top of the filled half and press to seal. Repeat with remaining shells.
5. Decorate
If desired, melt some additional chocolate and drizzle it over the tops of the bombs. Sprinkle with festive decorations to add a special touch!
6. Serve and Enjoy
To use your hot chocolate bombs, place one in a mug and pour hot milk or water over it. Watch as it melts and releases delicious hot cocoa and marshmallows! Stir and enjoy your cozy treat.
