RECIPE DETAILS
40 minutes
Yield: 12 cupcakes
INGREDIENTS
For the bombs:
12 ounces high-quality semi-sweet chocolate melting wafers
6 tablespoons hot cocoa mix
1 cup dehydrated mini marshmallows
Sprinkles, for decorating (optional)
Special Equipment:
2 (2-inch) silicone sphere molds with 6 wells each
Small piping bag
Muffin papers, for packaging (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Melt the chocolate wafers according to the directions listed on the packaging.
Coat the silicone molds with chocolate. Drop 1 tablespoon chocolate into each well of a half sphere silicone mold. Use a brush to spread the chocolate up the sides and over the edges of the molds. Chill until set. Repeat with about 1 teaspoon of additional chocolate to achieve a thick, even coating. Chill until completely hardened, 5 to 10 minutes.
Fill half the spheres with 1 tablespoon hot cocoa mix and 1 heaping tablespoon mini marshmallows.
Heat a ceramic plate in low oven (200 degrees). Wearing gloves, gently melt the edge of an empty shell on the warm plate and place on top of a filled one to form a sphere. Let sit at room temperature to harden and set, at least 15 minutes.
Drizzle with any remaining chocolate to decorate and add sprinkles if desired.
To serve, heat 1 cup milk for each hot chocolate bomb gently on the stovetop or in the microwave for about 2 minutes until very hot. Place a cocoa bomb in a large mug and pour the hot milk over the top for a dramatic reveal.
RECIPE NOTES:
Store hot chocolate bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks. Hot cocoa bombs make a great gift. Wrap in a cellophane bag and gift with a mug.
