Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Shell
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons candy coated mini chips
Filling
- 6 tablespoons hot cocoa mix
- 1 cosmic brownie, cut into 6 pieces
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted, about 60 to 90 seconds.
- Form Chocolate Shells: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate into each half sphere mold. Use a pastry brush or the back of a spoon to evenly spread the chocolate along the entire inside surface, ensuring the edges are well coated to create sturdy shells. Place molds in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes to harden. Carefully remove the chocolate halves from the molds once set.
- Decorate Half Spheres: Lay 6 plain half spheres face down on a plate. Melt the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth, about 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag or plastic bag with a small snip at the corner. Drizzle melted chocolate over each half sphere and immediately top with candy-coated mini chips to decorate. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 3 to 5 minutes to set the decorations.
- Prepare Filled Halves: Arrange the other 6 plain half spheres face up on a plate. Into each, spoon 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix, add one piece of cosmic brownie, and scatter mini marshmallows on top.
- Seal Bombs: Warm a small microwave-safe plate in the microwave for 45 to 60 seconds. Briefly place the decorated, empty half sphere on the warm plate edge down for a few seconds to melt and soften the chocolate edges, creating a glue-like surface. Quickly press and seal it onto the corresponding filled half sphere, aligning the edges. Repeat for all 6 bombs.
- Serve Hot Cocoa Bombs: To enjoy, place one hot cocoa bomb in a mug. Pour 6 ounces of hot milk or water over the bomb and watch it melt, releasing the powder, brownie pieces, and marshmallows. Stir well until combined and enjoy your decadent hot chocolate.
Notes
- You can use any type of chocolate you prefer, but semi sweet provides a nice balance of sweetness.
- Ensure the chocolate shells are thick enough to prevent breakage when handling or melting.
- Use a microwave-safe bowl and heat chocolate in short intervals to avoid burning.
- Customize the filling with your favorite hot cocoa mix or add spices like cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Store unused hot chocolate bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For a vegan version, substitute dairy chocolate and hot cocoa mix with vegan alternatives.
