Ingredients

  • 1 cup hot pink candy melts
  • 1 cup pink candy melts
  • 1 cup white candy melts
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup hot chocolate or hot cocoa powder
Decorations
  • pink sanding sugar optional
  • Pink and purple sprinkles optional
  • Silicone geometric heart mold

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
  2. In three separate, small sized, microwave safe bowls, melt hot pink, pink and white candy melts in 30 second increments, stirring in between.
  3. Once melted, drizzle some white candy melt into the bottom of your silicone mold. Next, spoon some pink and hot pink candy melt into each mold, enough to fill the mold ½ full and spread it around the mold as evenly as possible. If you would like to be extra creative and fun with it, alternately mix and add candy melt colors then use your spoon to lightly swirl the colors together to create a marbled effect. Be sure there is enough candy melt in each mold to thickly cover all sides so there are no thin spots.
  4. Let set until hardened, about 10 minutes. If the top edge of the heart feels thin or delicate, spread just a little more of the candy melt to reinforce it and let set until hardened.
  5. Gently remove the hearts from the mold.
  6. In 8 of the heart halves, place 2 Tbs of hot chocolate powder.
  7. Several mini marshmallows.
  8. Also some sprinkles for extra fun.
  9. Warm a small plate in the microwave. Place the opposing,empty half of the heart on the plate for 3-5 seconds to let the edges melt.
  10. Match the empty half with the filled half and gently press them together.
  11. Complete with all of your hearts.
  12. Run a clean finger along the seam to smooth it out. If the halves don’t stay together, you can warm a metal butter knife by running it under hot water then run the warm knife over the edge of the filled half while the empty half is on the plate.
  13. Once all of the hot cocoa bombs are together, serve and enjoy or package and give away!
  14. To make hot cocoa, simply warm 6 oz of milk and place hot cocoa bomb into a mug with warmed milk and stir!
  15. For extra pizzazz, sprinkle extra marshmallows on top of prepared hot cocoa.
  16. Sprinkle with more sanding sugar, whipped cream and colored sprinkles if desired!
  17. Stir, serve and enjoy every drop!
