Equipment
Silicone half sphere molds
Microwave safe bowls
Ingredients
1poundgreen candy melts
2cupsMint chocolate hot cocoa powder
2cupsMini Marshmallows
8-10Red candy hearts or sprinkles
Festive sprinklesoptional
Instructions
Wipe the inside of the silicone molds.
Pour green candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second intervals. Stir between each interval, until smooth and melted.
Scoop a spoonful of melted green chocolate into each half sphere mold. Use the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides of the mold, until fully coated. Repeat with each mold.
Place the molds in the fridge for 10 minutes to harden the shells.
If the shells have thin spots, add another coat of melted green candy and chill again.
When the shells feel sturdy, carefully remove from molds and place on a cookie sheet.
Add a Tablespoon of hot cocoa mix, a pinch of sprinkles, and mini marshmallows to the bottom half of the chocolate bombs. Make sure you leave half of your semi-spheres empty, as they will be the top of the bombs.
Seal the bombs by holding the edge of the half-spheres against a hot pan (filled with water so it doesn't scorch). You can also scoop melted green chocolate into a piping bag with a fine tip, and pipe melted chocolate between the two halves of the sphere.
Carefully place the top shell onto the bottom and hold in place until the melted chocolate hardens.
Drizzle melted green chocolate on top of each cocoa bomb and place a red heart candy or sprinkle in the middle of each one.
To Serve, place one chocolate bomb in a mug and pour hot milk on top. Stir to mix.
