How to Use a Hot Chocolate Bomb

What You’ll Need
- Microwave Safe Bowl
- Mixing spoon
- 6 cavity hot cocoa bomb mold
- Small Piping bags or ziploc baggies Scissors
- A Hot Plate or Frying Pan
- White Candy Melts
- Green Candy Melts
- Powdered French Vanilla Coffee Creamer or Hot Chocolate Mix
- Mini Marshmallows, optional
How to Make Dr. Seuss Green Hot Chocolate Bombs
- Before starting, place a plate in the freezer for later on in the process.
- Then melt green candy melts in a microwaveable bowl on high for 30 seconds, stir after each 30 seconds and continue to do until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth (It may take 2-4 times).
- Use the back of the spoon to coat the mold completely. You want to do a thick coating of chocolate and bring it all the way up to the top so that the 2 half spheres connect later on. Then wipe away any excess chocolate.
- Freeze the mold for for 15-20 mins.
- As it sets in the freezer, prepare your set up for the contents inside of the cocoa bombs.
- Then, remove plate and mold from the freezer. Carefully remove each half from the mold and set them on the now cold plate (helps them not melt as fast).
- Spoon in powdered coffee creamer or hot chocolate mix and mini marshmallows.
- Connect the two ends of the circles together by either melting chocolate to serve as a glue (piping bag method) or place the top half onto a heated plate to lightly melt the edges and stick them together.
- Top with melted white candy using a piped bag.
A few tips:
- Be careful not to overheat and scorch the chocolate. You may even turn down the microwaves power to 50-60% to help avoid it burning.
- When coating the sides pay careful attention to the rim as the chocolate will need to be able to be “glued” together. If you don’t fully coat the mold, the two pieces won’t fit.
- Body heats melts chocolate quickly, use gloves or touch the bombs as little as possible once they are formed in the molds.
- If you use the piped chocolate method to connect the two half spheres together just remember if the chocolate is too hot it will burn a hole into your bomb, so watch your temperature.
- If cocoa bombs are being made in advance they can be frozen and stored in an airtight container.
