Equipment

  • 3 Hot Chocolate Bomb Molds each with 6 semi spheres

Ingredients
  

  • 11.5 ounce bag Premium Chocolate Chips
  • 9 heaping Tablespoons Hot Chocolate Mix
  • Mini Marshmallows or Crushed Candy optional

Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave them for 1 ½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
  • Spread the chocolate into the molds (18 semi spheres) using the back of a measuring spoon. Use just enough chocolate to cover the mold. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to harden. Add a second layer of chocolate and place in the freezer for another 5 minutes until hard. This will give you a nice chocolate shell that won't break.
  • Pop the chocolate semi spheres from the molds.
  • Fill 9 of the semi spheres with a heaping tablespoon of hot chocolate mix and any add-ins.
  • Gently press each of the tops onto a hot pan to melt the edges and then place onto a filled bottom. The melted edges will help to seal the chocolate bomb together.
  • Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the chocolate bombs and decorate with sprinkles, colored sugar, or crushed candy if desired.
  • Add to a steaming mug of milk, water, or chocolate - and enjoy!

Notes

  • Any type of premium chocolate chips will do. I chose to use Ghirardelli.
  • Any type of hot chocolate mix will do. Be creative and try flavored mixes!
  • Semi sphere chocolate molds can be purchased on Amazon.
  • Add-ins are optional and could include: mini marshmallows, chopped Andes mint candies, crushed candy canes, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, etc.
  • Add to small white boxes in cupcake liners or in a clear treat bag with a ribbon to give away as a gift!
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
