INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp hot cocoa mix
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup red candy melts
- Colored sprinkles
- 1 shot bourbon (for adults only)
DIRECTIONS
- Use the microwave to melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips until creamy, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Add 1½ to two tablespoons of melted chocolate to each mini freezer bowl. Use the back of a spoon to spread along the walls half of the way up. Freeze until hardened, about 15 minutes. Repeat as necessary; you will have six chocolate cups in total.
- Reserve remaining chocolate.
- Place the mini bowls upside down onto parchment paper. Gently loosen by applying pressure to the top and sides until the chocolate is released.
- Microwave a microwave-safe plate until warm, about one minute. Place the six chocolate cups (one at a time) upside down to slightly melt and even out the rims. Then turn the chocolate cups upright.
- Add one tablespoon of hot cocoa mix, marshmallows, and colored sprinkles to three of the cups.
- Warm the remaining chocolate. Lightly dip the three remaining cup rims into the warm chocolate.
- Create the chocolate bomb by placing the warmed chocolate cups on top of the cooler cups, pressing to seal each together.
- Melt white chocolate or candy to add a decorative drizzle on each chocolate bomb. Top with sprinkles. Allow to harden.
- To serve, place a chocolate bomb into a mug or glass. Carefully pour warmed milk over it. Watch everything inside float to the top like magic!
ENJOY!
