Preparation Steps
- Chop the semi-sweet chocolate into fine pieces for even melting.
- Place 5 ounces of chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Use a thermometer to ensure temperature is between 100-113°F, not exceeding 120°F.
- Add remaining chocolate pieces and stir until mostly melted. Cool the mixture to about 85°F.
- Microwave the chocolate again for 15 seconds to reheat to 90°F for moldability.
- Use a basting brush or spoon to coat the inside of each silicone sphere with melted chocolate, applying two thin coats.
- Scrape excess chocolate from molds and refrigerate for 3-5 minutes until set.
- Gently pop the chocolate spheres out of the molds.
- Fill one half of each sphere with 1.5 teaspoons of hot cocoa mix and some mini marshmallows.
- Heat a plate in the microwave for 1 minute. Place the open side of each sphere onto the plate for a second to melt the rim, then quickly seal the sphere halves together.
- Melt white chocolate in a piping bag or Ziploc, then drizzle over the assembled hot chocolate bombs as decoration.
Notes
Store in an airtight container and enjoy during the holidays or chilly evenings.
