Equipment
2" Dome Molds
Ingredients
1/2cuppowdered or super fine sugar
1/4cupunsweetened Cocoa
1/4cup Chopped ChocolateDark or Milk Can also use Mini Chocolate Chips
2tbsppowdered milk (optional but nice)
16ozChocolate Candy Coating
1/2cupmini marshmallows
Sprinkles for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Make the Hot Chocolate Powder Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl or jar (a mason jar works well for this). Store at room temperature until ready to use.
Make the Hot Chocolate Bombs exterior. Melt the chocolate candy coating according to the package directions. Fill each of the wells with 1-2 tablespoons of melted chocolate. Spread the chocolate around using a spoon or small spatula. Don’t forget to spread the chocolate all the way to the top-- you want to have a thick edge so your chocolate bomb doesn’t break. Place the chocolate in the fridge for 5minutes, or until it has hardened completely. Gently remove the chocolate wells from the mold.
Fill half of the chocolate wells with hot chocolate powder and mini marshmallows.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat until it is barely warm. Place the rim of an unfilled chocolate onto the pan for 1-2 seconds, or until the edges start to melt. Carefully remove the chocolate from the pan and place it on top of a filled chocolate well. Press gently to seal the two together. Decorate with melted chocolate and sprinkles, if desired.
To serve, add a hot chocolate bomb to a large mug. Pour over hot milk and stir until all of the chocolate has melted.
