Making Hot Chocolate Bombs
Supplies
- Good melting chocolate
- Silicone mold
- Hot chocolate mix and marshmallows
- Sprinkles, candy bits or other toppings (optional)

Melt the chocolate slowly in the microwave, checking and stirring every 30 seconds.
Spoon some of the melted chocolate to the silicone mold. Then use the back of the spoon to push and coat the chocolate up the sides of each mold.
Then move the mold to the refrigerator for 5 minutes to harden. Repeat the process again making sure to pay close attention to the sides. Move the shells back to the refrigerator for 5 more minutes.
Tip: Place the mold on a cookie sheet so it will be easy to move from the counter to the refrigerator.

Then remove the shells from the mold by pushing from the bottom with one hand, and gently pulling up with your other hand.

Next, make some homemade hot chocolate mix or use a prepared mix.

Place a heaping tablespoon of hot chocolate mix in 6 of the shells. Top with marshmallows or candy bits, such as shaved chocolate, or crushed up peppermints.

Then take an empty shell and place the edge down on a warm pan to melt it slightly.

Bring one filled shell and the empty melted edge shell together to make one bomb. Use a small spoon to even out the seal. You can also heat the spoon over a gas flame a bit to help melt and smooth the edges. You can also use some of the melted chocolate to seal up any holes.

Decorate the bombs by drizzling more melted chocolate, followed by sprinkles and other candy bits over top.

To serve, place a chocolate bomb in the bottom of a large mug and pour about 1 cup of hot milk over top.

The shell will break open and leave you with a delicious chocolatey hot drink dessert.

Wrap some up as gifts but be sure to keep one or two for yourself.
