How Do I Make Hot Cocoa Bombs for Valentine’s Day?
- Pour candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds or until melts have fully melted.
- Put one small spoonful of melted chocolate in each mold.
- Spread the candy melts up the sides of the mold until every bit of the mold is covered. This is SUPER important. Make sure everything is covered and there are no thin spots. The chocolate should go to the top of the mold.
- Let the molds sit for about 5 minutes & re-spread any of the candy melts that sank to the bottom of the molds.
- Place the molds in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Remove and repeat making the layer of chocolate thicker so it is more stable in each silicone mold.
- Once set, carefully remove the candy melt spheres from the mold.
- Fill half of the spheres with the hot cocoa powder, sprinkles, and marshmallows.
- Place a glass plate in the microwave for one minute.
- Remove the plate and immediately place each chocolate sphere on the hot place to melt the edges.
- Place each heated sphere on each filled sphere. You can use the tip of your finger to smooth the melted candy around the seam.
- Place sealed balls in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This is important especially if you wish to add a drizzle on top.
- Take the icing, or melted chocolate drizzled with a fork, and draw lines back and forth on the top of your sphere.
- Sprinkle away. The icing will act as glue.
- Heat milk on the stove, pour over the hot cocoa bomb, and enjoy!
