Ingredients
- Orange and white candy melts
- Green sprinkles
- Hot chocolate mix
- Small marshmallows
- Milk
- Silicone sphere molds
- Wax paper
- Small microwave-safe plate and bowls
- Spoon
Instructions
- Place the orange candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them in the microwave according to the package instructions.
- Add a spoonful of the melted orange candy melts to each of the silicone molds and, working quickly, use the back of the spoon to cover the mold.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer to harden for 20 minutes.
Remove the molds and place them upside down on a piece of wax paper. - Carefully pull back the mold to pop out each piece.
- Warm a microwave-safe plate for 30-45 seconds in the microwave. Clean up and straighten the edges of each half by placing the open side of a chocolate piece on the warm plate for a few seconds, allowing the edges to melt and even out.
- Fill half of the pieces with a few spoonfuls of hot chocolate mix and small marshmallows.
- Place an empty chocolate piece on the warm plate to melt the edges again, then place it on top of a piece that has hot chocolate and marshmallows in it to form a complete sphere.
- Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave according to the package instructions.
- Use a spoon to add a decorative white drizzle on top of each hot chocolate bomb, then add green sprinkles while the white drizzle is still wet.
- Warm a glass of milk, add a hot chocolate bomb, stir and watch for a delicious treat!
