Description

Simple recipe for making chocolate spheres filled with cocoa mix and marshmallows that melt in hot milk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup peppermint baking chips (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons hot cocoa mix per bomb
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows per bomb
  • Peppermint candies, crushed, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and peppermint chips (if using) together in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
  2. Lightly brush the inside of silicone sphere molds with melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage.
  3. Place the molds in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
  4. Apply a second thin layer of melted chocolate to the inside of the molds for strength. Chill again for 10 minutes.
  5. Carefully remove the hardened chocolate shells from the molds. You should have 12 half-spheres.
  6. Warm a small, clean plate in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  7. Take one half-sphere rim and gently press it onto the warm plate for a few seconds to slightly melt the edge.
  8. Place the hot cocoa mix and marshmallows inside the melted-rim half-sphere.
  9. Take a second half-sphere rim and melt its edge slightly. Place this rim onto the filled half-sphere to seal the bomb.
  10. Use a small amount of leftover melted chocolate to pipe a decorative line around the seam to secure it.
  11. Pipe a small dot of melted chocolate onto the top of the sealed bomb and press crushed peppermint candies onto it.
  12. Allow all bombs to set completely before use.

Notes

  • To use, place one bomb in a mug and pour 1 cup of hot milk over it. Stir until melted.
  • If you do not have silicone molds, you can use a plastic candy mold, but removal may be more difficult.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and melting quality.
