For the Chocolate Shells:

Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Make Chocolate Shells

  1. Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.

  2. Using a spoon or brush, coat the inside of silicone half-sphere molds with chocolate. Chill 10–15 minutes, then add a second layer for sturdiness.

Step 2: Fill the Bombs

  1. Once shells are set, fill each half with 1–2 tbsp of hot cocoa mix, a few mini marshmallows, and optional add-ins.

Step 3: Seal the Bombs

  1. Warm a plate slightly in the microwave. Press the open edge of a chocolate half on the warm plate to slightly melt it, then place it on top of the filled half.

  2. Gently press to seal and return to the fridge to set completely.

Step 4: Decorate (Optional)

  • Drizzle with melted white chocolate, add sprinkles, or dust with edible glitter for festive flair.
