Ingredients

  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate bar chopped
  • 6 tablespoons hot cocoa mix
  • ¾ cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a 4-quart pot with water and set over medium-high heat. Place a heat proof bowl sitting securely on top of the pot without touching the water.
  2. Place the chopped chocolate in the bowl and stir with a silicone spatula until the chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove the chocolate immediately after it melts, being careful not to overheat it, and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Place 1 tablespoon of the tempered chocolate into each of the silicone mold cups (12 total). Brush a thin layer of the chocolate up the sides and slightly over the edges of the molds by just a bit. Let sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, 5 to 15 minutes. Apply another thin coating of the tempered chocolate and let sit at room temperature again until the chocolate is hardened,, about 15 to 30 more minutes.
  4. Carefully remove all the chocolate from the molds. Divide the cocoa mix and marshmallows into 6 of the molds, filling all the way to the top.
  5. Use a q-tip to outline a border of the melted chocolate on the other unfilled chocolate molds. Close the 6 molds to form a sphere and let sit at room temperature again until the chocolate is hardened set, about 30 more minutes.
  6. When ready to use, serve with warm milk.

Notes

  • Tips: Do a few test hot chocolate bomb shells to find the perfect thickness.
