Main Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons hot cocoa mix
  • 0.75 cups mini marshmallows
  • 0.25 cups white chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Chop the semi-sweet chocolate into fine pieces for even melting.
  2. 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.
  3. Add remaining chocolate pieces and stir until mostly melted. Cool the mixture to about 85°F.
  4. Microwave the chocolate again for 15 seconds to reheat to 90°F for moldability.
  5. Use a basting brush or spoon to coat the inside of each silicone sphere with melted chocolate, applying two thin coats.
  6. Scrape excess chocolate from molds and refrigerate for 3-5 minutes until set.
  7. Gently pop the chocolate spheres out of the molds.
  8. Fill one half of each sphere with 1.5 teaspoons of hot cocoa mix and some mini marshmallows.
  9. 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.
  10. Melt white chocolate in a piping bag or Ziploc, then drizzle over the assembled hot chocolate bombs as decoration.
