Equipment

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 15 ½ Tbsp hot cocoa mix
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
  • 6 ounces white chocolate chips
  • Milk for serving

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 15 ½ Tbsp hot cocoa mix
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
  • 6 ounces white chocolate chips
  • Milk for serving

Instructions

  • Gather all of your equipment and ingredients. You will need a microwave, microwave-safe bowl, spoon, and silicone chocolate bomb molds for making 12 half spheres.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave them on high for just 30 seconds. Stir the chips and return the bowl to the microwave and heat again for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate to make sure it has all melted.
  • Working quickly, use the back of a large soup spoon to thinly coat the inside of 12 hot chocolate bomb mold cups.
  • Place the molds in the freezer for about 7 minutes until the chocolate hardens and sets.
  • Remove the molds from the freezer. If there are any bare areas or holes in the chocolate bombs, patch them up with a little more melted chocolate and place the molds back in the freezer for a few more minutes. Once set, gently remove the chocolate from the molds. Fill 6 of the bombs with 2-1/2 tablespoons of cocoa mix. Add a few mini marshmallows on top of the cocoa mix.
  • Warm a plate in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Take an empty bomb or sphere and rub the seam side on the warm plate so the edge melts a little. Place the warmed edge over the edge of the filled sphere to close up the bombs and form little balls. Repeat until you have 6 round bombs. You may have to warm the plate again while doing this. You can use any extra melted chocolate to seal gaps in the seams. You want solid balls.
  • Place the bombs back in the freezer for another 5 minutes until they are set.
  • Melt the white chocolate chips in a small bowl in the microwave, just as you did for the chocolate chips. Transfer the bombs from the freezer to a plate. Drizzle the white chocolate over the bombs in any pattern you like to decorate them. Place them back in the freezer for a few more minutes until the white chocolate sets.
  • The bombs can be stored in a container with a lid until ready to use.
  • To serve the cocoa bombs, place one in the bottom of a mug.
  • Pour warm milk around the outside of the bomb and watch as it melts and the marshmallows pop up. Stir to mix well and enjoy.
  • Once set, gently remove the chocolate from the molds. Fill 6 of the bombs with 2-1/2 tablespoons of cocoa mix. Add a few mini marshmallows on top of the cocoa mix.
