Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Shell
- 30 oz Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers
Filling
- 2 cups milk hot cocoa mix
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Decoration
- 1 tube orange icing
- 1 tube chocolate icing
Instructions
- Prepare Molds: Cut the silicone sphere molds so each mold is separate for easier handling during chocolate application.
- Clean Molds: Wipe the inside of each silicone mold with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to ensure a shiny finish on the chocolate shell.
- Melt Chocolate: Place Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers in a heat-safe bowl and microwave in 45-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat Molds: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of melted chocolate into each mold. Swirl the chocolate around to coat the entire interior surface evenly.
- Remove Excess Chocolate: Lightly shake the mold to pour excess chocolate back into the bowl, ensuring a thin, even shell.
- Chill Shells: Place the coated molds in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Demold Shells: Gently peel the silicone mold away from the hardened chocolate to reveal smooth chocolate half-spheres.
- Assemble Halves: Place the chocolate halves on a cookie sheet, ready for filling and joining.
- Prepare Piping Bag: Scoop some melted chocolate into a piping bag and cut the tip to seal the chocolate shells together later.
- Fill Shells: Place 1-2 tablespoons of mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of hot cocoa mix inside one half of each chocolate sphere.
- Seal Bombs: Use the melted chocolate in the piping bag to carefully pipe around the edges of the filled half-sphere and press the other half on top to seal completely.
- Decorate: Once sealed, decorate the hot chocolate bombs with orange and chocolate icing to create charming snowman faces.
Notes
- Heating chocolate slowly and stirring frequently prevents burning.
- Use a light hand when swirling chocolate inside molds for an even coating.
- Ensure chocolate shells are fully set before removing molds to avoid breakage.
- Store finished bombs in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
- To enjoy, drop a hot chocolate bomb into a mug of hot milk and watch the snowman reveal unfold.
