Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Shell
- 1 cup (168 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Filling
- ⅔ cup (133 g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (39 g) cocoa powder
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons chocolate milk powder, divided
- 3 tablespoons mini marshmallows, divided
Equipment
- 1 silicone chocolate bomb mold
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Shell: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into the silicone molds, ensuring an even layer coating the sides. Refrigerate or freeze briefly to set the shells solid.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, a pinch of kosher salt, and half of the chocolate milk powder. This will be the flavorful hot cocoa mix inside the bombs.
- Fill the Chocolate Shells: Once the chocolate shells are set, add a spoonful of the prepared chocolate milk powder mix into each shell, then sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of mini marshmallows over the powder inside each half-sphere.
- Seal the Bombs: Warm the remaining chocolate chips slightly to create a sealing chocolate layer. Brush or pour a thin layer of this melted chocolate on the rims of the filled shells. Carefully press two halves together to form a complete sphere. Refrigerate again to harden the seam and seal the bomb securely.
- Serve: To enjoy, place a hot chocolate bomb in a mug, then pour hot milk over it. Stir as the chocolate melts and the marshmallows float to the top, creating a rich and creamy hot cocoa experience.
