3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Hot Chocolate Bombs

Preparing the Chocolate Shell

Start by melting your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into the sphere molds, making sure to coat the sides evenly. Chill the molds in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or until set.

Filling the Bombs

Once the shells are ready, carefully remove them from the molds. Fill each half with hot cocoa powder, mini marshmallows, and crushed peppermint candies. Leave a small gap at the top to seal the bomb later.

Sealing the Hot Chocolate Bombs

Re-melt a small amount of chocolate and use it to glue the edges of two halves together. Press gently to seal the sphere completely. Decorate with sprinkles or drizzle melted chocolate for a festive look.

Chilling and Final Touches

Place the finished bombs in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up. Once ready, they are perfect for gifting or serving during your holiday celebrations!

Keep the hot chocolate bombs in an airtight container at room temperature away from direct sunlight. If you plan to store them longer, refrigerate for up to a week, but bring them to room temperature before serving to prevent condensation.
