Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped or chips
  • 6 tbsp hot cocoa mix
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 tsp coconut oil optional, for smoother chocolate
  • Sprinkles or crushed candy optional, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each silicone mold cavity and coat evenly.
  • Chill the molds for 5 minutes, then apply a second layer for thickness and refrigerate until set.
  • Gently remove the chocolate shells from the mold.
  • Fill half of the shells with cocoa mix and mini marshmallows.
  • Warm the edges of the remaining shells on a hot plate and press them gently onto the filled halves to seal.
  • Drizzle with extra chocolate and decorate as desired. Let set completely before serving or packaging.

Notes

Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm. To serve, place one bomb in a mug and pour 1 cup of hot milk over it. For variety, use white chocolate, dark chocolate, or flavored cocoa mix.
