Servings 4

Ingredients
  

Hot Chocolate Bombs

  • silicone half-sphere mold
  • 2 cups white chocolate melting candy discs
  • 4 tablespoons hot chocolate powder white or dark chocolate
  • 4 tablespoons mini marshmallows

Decorations

  • black frosting
  • orange sprinkles or small candes
  • chocolate candies like M&Ms
  • red frosting or fondant

Instructions
 

  • There are two different methods to make the hot chocolate bombs.

Spoon and Spread Method

  • Melt chocolate candy discs. You can use chocolate chips for this. However, you may need to add a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening to the chocolate to get it to spread smoothly. Chocolate candy discs that have already been tempered are the best choice.
  • Using the back of a spoon, spread chocolate along the bottom and up the silicone mold sides.
  • Chill the mold for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate is set.
  • Repeat spooning/spreading and chilling for a second coat of chocolate.
  • Unmold chocolate shells and add powder and marshmallows to one half of each shell.
  • Heat the rim of the second half of chocolate mold and place it on top of the first to make a full sphere. Depending on the size and coats of chocolate, you should end up with 3-4 hot chocolate bombs.
  • Add snowman face and earmuffs with ready-made frosting and candies. Place the hot chocolate bomb on top of another tablespoon of white chocolate to look like it's melting.

Fill and Spill Method

  • Melt chocolate candy discs. You can use chocolate chips for this. However, you may need to add a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening to the chocolate to get it to spread smoothly. Chocolate candy discs that have already been tempered are the best choice.
  • Completely fill all 6 cavities of your silicone mold. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Spill the excess chocolate from the silicone mold.
  • The shell should be thick enough not to need a second chocolate coat.
  • Turn mold over and let chill upside down for 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Unmold chocolate shells and add powder and marshmallows to one half of each shell.
  • Heat the rim of the second half of chocolate mold and place it on top of the first to make a full sphere. Depending on the size and coats of chocolate, you should end up with 3-4 hot chocolate bombs.
  • Add snowman face and earmuffs with ready-made frosting and candies. Place the hot chocolate bomb on top of another tablespoon of white chocolate to look like it's melting.
  • Keep the Melting Snowman Hot Chocolate Bombs in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When ready to enjoy, slowly pour 6-8 ounces of warm milk over the hot chocolate bomb. Alternatively, you can place the hot chocolate bomb into a mug of warm milk and wait for it to pop open. Stir and enjoy!
