Valentine’s Hot Chocolate Bombs

Valentine’s Hot Chocolate Bombs Supplies:

• Pink Candy Melts
• White Candy Melts
• Silicone mold semi-spherical
• Silicone basting brush
• Hot chocolate (I used Swiss Miss)
• Mini marshmallows
• Squeeze bottle to use for drizzling
• Valentine’s Day Sprinkles for decorating 

How to Make Valentine’s Day Chocolate Bombs:

Place the pink chocolate wafers in a microwaveable bowl. Melt in microwave for 30-second intervals at 50% power, then stir. Repeat this procedure until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. DO NOT overheat as the chocolate will seize and get very thick and you will not be able to use it.

Brush the inside of the sphere using the silicone brush, making sure to get the chocolate right up around the edge. This will prevent the sphere from breaking when you remove it from the mold.

Repeat this procedure a second time and if needed a third time. Chill for 10 minutes in between each coating.

Remove the spheres from the mold by pulling the sides gently and then pushing them up from the bottom of the mold. Add 2 tablespoons of hot chocolate mix and 4-5 marshmallows to one of the spheres. Set aside.

Warm a dinner plate in the microwave. You want it to warm to the touch but not so hot that you can’t handle it. The plate will stay warm enough to do about 6 chocolate bombs. If the plate cools quickly, just reheat it between bombs.

Take a sphere that is empty and place it face down onto the plate and swirl it around to soften the edge. Be sure not to leave it on the plate for too long or you will have a chocolate mess!

Then place the two spheres together pressing gently. Set aside to let it cool.

Melt a small amount of the white chocolate, following the same procedure. Add the melted chocolate to the squeeze bottle and drizzle on top of the chocolate bomb.

While the chocolate is still warm, add your decorations.

Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Use 1-2 chocolate bombs for 10-12 oz of warm milk, depending on how sweet you would like your hot chocolate to be.
