Hot Chocolate Bombs

Equipment

  • Silicone mold
  • Cupcake containers
  • Box for shipping

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bags bags of Ghiradelli melting wafers - (I bought white and dark chocolate)
  • 1 bottle Sprinkles
  • 1 pack Cupcake liners
  • 3-4 packets Land O' Lakes hot cocoa mix packets (in a variety of flavors) - You can use any hot chocolate mix. This brand is the one that I prefer.
  • 1 bag Miniature marshmallows

Instructions
 

  • Melt the candy melts according to the instructions on the package. I melted mine in the microwave on 50% power for 30 second intervals.
  • Add about about two teaspoons of melted chocolate to each mold. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate evenly around the bottom and sides of the mold.
  • Place the mold to chill in the refrigerator for about 5 to 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
  • Remove the mold from the refrigerator, add another thin layer of chocolate. Be sure there are no gaps or empty spaces. Place it back in the refrigerator for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove the mold from the refrigerator. Gently release the shells from the mold and place them on a piece of wax paper or a cookie sheet.
  • Fill the bottom half of each bomb with hot cocoa mix (2 tbsp.) and marshmallows.
  • Warm a plate or pan.
  • Take the top half of the sphere and place it on the plate until you see it starting to melt.
  • Quickly place it on top of the bottom half to seal your sphere.
  • Once they are sealed, place them back in the refrigerator for a few minutes to ensure they have hardened and set.
  • Finally, take them out and decorate them with melted drizzle, sprinkles, or any way you desire.
