What a best way to keep warm during the winter months that with these Mickey Mouse hot cocoa bombs. You have seen them all over Instagram and Tik Tok and I have here a recipe for you to be able to make them at home.

You might be asking yourself what is all the noise being made about the hot chocolate bombs. The thing is that it is super fun watching the bombs as they dissolve when you pour hot milk over them and then you stir the chocolate and marshmallows to enjoy a delicious hot cocoa drink.

The best way to make them is using silicone molds. We found out that if you cut the silicone molds so that each sphere mold is by itself, the process is much easier. 

Ingredients

• 2 Silicone Sphere Molds
• 1 – 30 oz of Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate melting wafers
• 2 C of your favorite hot cocoa mix
• 1 disposable piping bag
• 1 cookie sheet covered with wax paper
• 2 C Mini Marshmallows

Preparation

• Use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and wipe the inside of the silicone molds. This will allow your chocolate mold to have a shiny coat on it.
• Remove about 16-20 size matching pieces of the melting wafers and set aside. You will use them to make the chocolate ears.
• Using a heat safe bowl, pour into the bowl and place the remaining of the Ghirardelli melting wafers in the microwave for 45 second intervals. Make sure to stir the chocolate after each 45 seconds until completely melted and smooth
• Now spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the chocolate into the mold
• Carefully swirl the chocolate to completely coat the inside of the mold
• Lightly shake the extra chocolate back into the bowl
• Place the coated molds into the fridge for 5-10 minutes
• Remove from the fridge and gently peel the silicone mold back away from the hardened chocolate shell
• Carefully place the mold onto a cutting board
• Repeat steps with remaining molds
• You should now have 8 sets of half sphere chocolate molds.
• Scoop some of the melted chocolate into the piping bag and cut the tip

Building the hot cocoa bomb

• Scoop about 1 tbsp of the hot cocoa mix into the bottom of the chocolate sphere
• Sprinkle in a few of the mini marshmallows
• Pipe a line of the melted chocolate around the edge of the bottom shell
• Carefully place the top shell onto the bottom and gently hold the top to the bottom for about 30 seconds to a minute to allow the piped chocolate to harden to the top shell
• Now gently pick up the bomb and make sure that there is no opening around the center of the shells
• Place the mold back onto the cutting board
• Drizzle chocolate over the mold
• Using a small skillet, place over low heat
• Once the pan feels warm, place the bottom of the candy melts that you set aside
• Melt the bottom of the chocolate wafer so that it becomes a flat edge instead of round edge
• Quickly place the freshly melted edge onto the side of the cocoa bomb to create the “ear”
• Repeat the same step with the second ear
• Allow to harden before serving.
• Place the chocolate bomb in a mug and pour your favorite hot milk on top. Then watch the chocolate melt and reveal the bomb’s contents. Stir and enjoy!
