Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz milk chocolate, chopped or chips
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows (for filling)
- Optional: Sprinkles or decorative chocolate for topping
Instructions
- Melt half of the chocolate gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Using a silicone mold (half-sphere shape), brush a thin, even layer of melted chocolate inside each cavity.
- Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes until the chocolate is set.
- Warm the remaining chocolate slightly so it is fluid but not hot.
- Apply a second, slightly thicker layer of chocolate over the set first layer in the molds. Chill again until completely firm.
- Carefully remove the hardened chocolate half-spheres from the molds.
- Warm a small plate slightly. Take one chocolate half-shell and gently press the rim onto the warm plate for a few seconds to slightly melt the edge.
- Place a spoonful of cocoa powder mixture (cocoa, sugar, salt), a few marshmallows, and any other desired filling into the warmed half-shell.
- Take a second chocolate half-shell and immediately place the melted rim onto the filled shell, creating a sealed sphere. Work quickly to join them.
- If desired, use extra melted chocolate to drizzle or decorate the outside of the bombs. Allow them to set fully before using.
- To use, place one bomb in a mug and pour about 1 cup of hot milk over it. Stir until the chocolate melts and the marshmallows emerge!
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Ensure your chocolate sphere edges are clean before sealing for a perfect closure.
- This recipe works well with dark, milk, or white chocolate.
- Make extra! These make wonderful gifts.
