Ingredients

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • When ready to use, serve with warm milk.

Notes

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