Homemade Hot Chocolate Bombs Recipe

Step 1

STOVETOP: Create a double boiler by setting a bowl over a pot of boiling water. Place 6 ounces chopped semi-sweet baking chocolate, (or 1 cup chocolate chips) into the top bowl. Stir often until chocolate is melted. MICROWAVE: Place chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Heat the chips on high in 15 second intervals stopping between each interval to stir. Continue to heat until chocolate is melted.

Step 2

Add a large spoonful of the melted chocolate into each of the 6 cavities in your silicone chocolate bomb mold. Smooth the chocolate up the sides of the mold with the back of a spoon making sure to completely coat the sides of each cavity.

Step 3

Refrigerate or freeze for a few minutes to set.

Step 4

Reheat the chocolate if necessary, then repeat the process by adding another spoonful of melted chocolate into each of the chilled mold cavities. Return the mold to the refrigerator or freezer to set.

Step 5

Remove the half rounds of set chocolate from the molds. Don't force them! They should come out pretty easily.

Step 6

Fill each of the three bottom half rounds with 2 tablespoons of hot cocoa mix and 12 mini marshmallows.

Step 7

STOVETOP: Heat a plate over the pot of boiling water until warm enough to melt chocolate. MICROWAVE: Heat a microwave safe plate for a few seconds, until warm enough to melt chocolate.

Step 8

Working with one bomb at a time, press one of the top half rounds against the heated plate to slightly melt the rim. Place the empty half round over the filled bottom half round to seal. Repeat with the remaining two chocolate bombs.

Step 9

If your seams are not tight enough or if they look messy, warm a spoon (dipping it in the hot water or run it under a hot faucet) then run back of the spoon along the seam to melt the chocolate and seal the edge.

Step 10

OPTIONAL: Melt the white chocolate chips (use the same method as step then drizzle over the filled chocolate bombs. Return to the refrigerator or freezer to set.

Step 11

Heat the milk either on the stovetop or in the microwave, being careful not to burn or scald it.

Step 12

Place one hot chocolate bomb into you favorite large cup or mug. Pour the hot milk over the ball. The hot chocolate bomb should burst open, releasing the hot cocoa and marshmallows. Stir until smooth and enjoy.
