INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE SPRINGTIME HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS

These delectable Hot Chocolate Bombs for Spring are made with white chocolate chips, rainbow marshmallows, and instant hot chocolate mix. To step it up a notch, try using a homemade hot chocolate mix recipe instead!

To make these hot cocoa bombs you will need:

• white chocolate chips or melting wafers – I highly recommend Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting Wafers.
• instant hot cocoa mix – can be found in either the baking aisle or the coffee aisle.
• rainbow marshmallows – I use Jet Puffed
• Spring Nonpareils Mix Sprinkles by Wilton
• Mini Candy Flowers
• Pink Candy Melts
• Yellow Candy Melts
• hot milk – to enjoy your hot chocolate bombs once they are finished.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS WITH MARSHMALLOWS

These tasty treats are incredibly easy-to-make! Plus, they take just minutes to prep. In fact, the longest part of the process is waiting for the chocolate to set.

STEP ONE: MELT

• Place the white chocolate chips or wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted.

STEP TWO: FILL

• Put a spoonful of melted chocolate inside one well/cup on the silicone mold.
• Using the back of the spoon or a food-safe paintbrush, spread the chocolate all the way up the sides of the mold. Make sure the chocolate is evenly coating the entire well.
• Repeat this process until all the molds are coated.
• Set the remaining chocolate aside for sealing and decorating the hot chocolate bombs.

STEP THREE: SET

• Allow the chocolate in the molds to set completely. This usually takes about 2 to 3 hours, although you can speed up the process by placing the chocolate-filled molds in the freezer for 10 minutes, or in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Once the chocolate has thoroughly set, check for any thin spots. If you see any spots, add a second layer of chocolate using a small spatula, spoon, or food-safe paintbrush, and allow the chocolate to set once again.

STEP FOUR: ASSEMBLE

• Once the chocolate has hardened, carefully remove each half-sphere from its mold.
• Next, add a small amount of instant hot cocoa mix to half the pieces and then top the hot cocoa mix with marshmallows.

STEP FIVE: SEAL

• Reheat the chocolate in 15-second intervals until it’s completely melted.
• To seal the Spring hot chocolate bombs, pick up an empty half-sphere and lightly dip the edges into the melted chocolate.
• Then carefully place it on top of a filled half-sphere and lightly press it into place to form a complete ball.
• Use your finger to smooth the melted chocolate around the seam.
• Repeat these steps until all of the hot chocolate bombs are sealed.

You can also seal the bombs by heating a skillet over low heat or nuking a glass plate in the microwave, then removing it from the heat. Take one of the empty shell halves and place it open-side-down on the warm surface just until the edges begin to soften and melt.

Then quickly and carefully place it on top of a filled half-sphere, pressing gently to seal. And then use your finger to smooth the seam.

STEP FIVE: DECORATE

• Once the chocolate spheres are sealed and completely set, add some pink melted chocolate to a piping bag or Ziploc with the corner snipped off to decorate.
• Lightly drizzle the chocolate over the top of the bombs and then repeat with the yellow melted chocolate.
• Quickly add a few candy flowers using the drizzled chocolate as glue.
• Finish by sprinkling a small number of non-parallels over the tops.
• Allow the chocolate decorations to set before using, around 1 hour.

MAKING HOT CHOCOLATE FROM HOT COCOA BOMBS

Now it’s time for the most delicious part – testing your springtime hot chocolate bombs!

• First, you’ll place one bomb in the bottom of a mug.
• Then, pour one cup of hot milk over the top of the bomb to melt the chocolate.
• Once the hot chocolate bomb has “exploded” aka completely melted, stir to combine.
• Allow to cool a tad, then enjoy!
