Hot chocolate bombs are fun, festive chocolate spheres filled with cocoa mix and marshmallows that melt into a rich, cozy drink when hot milk is poured over them.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate or chocolate chips
  • 6 tablespoons hot cocoa mix
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • Optional toppings: crushed peppermint, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Chop the chocolate if using bars. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each cavity of a silicone half-sphere mold (preferably 2.5 inches wide). Use the back of the spoon to evenly coat the inside. Refrigerate or freeze for 5-10 minutes until set.
  3. Apply a second coat of chocolate to ensure the shell is sturdy. Chill again until fully set.
  4. Carefully remove the chocolate halves from the mold. Fill half of the shells with 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix and about 6-8 mini marshmallows each.
  5. Warm a plate slightly, then press the edges of an empty half-shell onto the warm plate to slightly melt and then attach it to a filled half, sealing the bomb. Let set.
  6. Decorate the hot chocolate bombs by drizzling with more melted chocolate and adding optional toppings.
  7. To serve, place one hot chocolate bomb in a mug and pour over hot milk (about 8-10 ounces). Stir until fully melted and combined.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for better flavor and smoother melting.
  • Make sure the chocolate shell is thick enough to hold its shape but not too thick to bite through.
  • Store finished bombs in a cool, dry place or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.
