Ingredients

  • 2 cups red candy melts
  • 3 TBSP hot chocolate mix
  • mini marshmallows
  • white chocolate OR candy melts for drizzling
  • sprinkles as desired

Instructions

  • lay your cocoa bomb mold on a small baking sheet
  • put the candy melts in the top of a double boiler over medium-low heat
  • stir occasionally to melt the candy melts
  • when melted use a spoon to plop a spoonful of red candy melt in one half of a silicone sphere, use the spoon to slather it up the sides all the way around the mold
    Cocoa Bomb Shells being made.
  • repeat with the remaining 5 spheres
  • double-check to make sure the spheres are completely covered and you've gone right up to the rim
  • then pop the baking tray in the freezer for 10-15 minutes
  • while the spheres freeze put a plate over the top of the double-boiler to warm up, you'll need it to fuse the two halves together
  • when the molds are firm pull them out, look for thin places, and patch with a little of the cooled candy melt, hot candy melt will ONLY melt your sphere more
  • once your spheres are looking good bend the mold back to unmold them, that's why it's important to use a
    super flexible sphere mold, it bends SO easily!
  • place the unmolded spheres on the cold baking tray you had in the freezer with them
  • put 1 TBPS of cocoa or MORE as desired in each of the three bottom halves
    Cocoa powder inside the chocolate bomb.
  • top with all the marshmallows you can squeeze in
    Assembling the cocoa bomb.
  • take the top sphere, warm it on the hot plate for a quick moment to let it melt just a bit, and place it on top of the bottom half and hold it until it cools
  • repeat with the other spheres
  • place the finished bombs in the freezer to firm up
  • To Finish Them: 1) you can melt the white candy melts and drizzle them on top of the finished cocoa bombs and add sprinkles


    2)OR use the last bits of the red melts, and make a "belt" around the finished bomb, roll it in sprinkles while it's still soft and refreeze
    Cocoa Bombs with sprinkles.
  • TO SERVE: warm milk until it's steaming hot, put it in a teapot or something with a long pour spout
  • Place a cocoa bomb IN a mug with the seam side up(for best melting!) and pour the VERY hot milk slowly on the seam the chocolate will melt, and the marshmallows will POP up
    stir before drinking for best results!
