How to Make Orange Hot Chocolate Bombs

Makes 12 Hot Chocolate Bombs

Ingredients:

2 cups Orange Candy Melts
2 cups Hot Chocolate Mix
2 cups Mini Marshmallows
24 Slices Orange Chocolate Ball

You will also need bath bomb moulds or cake pop moulds and, if using bath bomb moulds, I found it best to hold them steady in a cupcake tin.

Instructions:

Place orange candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package.

Place 1 tbsp melted candy melt into one half of a bomb mould and, using the bottom of your tablespoon measuring spoon, press the chocolate up the sides of the mould, keeping it thick but even. Repeat with 12 bomb mould halves.

Place the chocolate filled bomb moulds into the freezer for 5 minutes.

Remove moulds from the freezer and gently tap the sides of the mould, pressing on one side of the chocolate to make the chocolate slide out of the mould.

Fill 6 of the moulds with 1 tbsp hot chocolate mix, 1 orange candy slice, and 6-8 mini marshmallows.

Heat a plate or a flat-bottom bowl in the microwave until the surface of the plate is warm to the touch.

Press one of the empty chocolate bomb halves open-side-down onto the flat portion of the warm plate for about 10 seconds. This will gently melt the rim of the chocolate cup.

Immediately press this warmed edge chocolate cup to the top of one of the filled cups. This will join the two halves of the hot cocoa bomb.

Using a piping bag or a fork, drizzle the remaining candy melts over the assembled hot cocoa bombs then immediately follow by pressing an orange chocolate slice on top of them.

Place the hot cocoa bombs into the freezer for 5 minutes to get them to set, then remove and store in an airtight container until you’re ready to use.

To use the hot cocoa bombs, place them in a mug and pour 2 cups hot milk over the top. Stir until the hot cocoa bombs are completely melted and enjoy!
