Equipment

  • Silicone half sphere mold

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup bright green candy melts
  • 1/2 cup dark green candy melts
  • 1/2 cup white candy melts
  • 1 cup lucky charms marshmallows
  • 6 Tbsp hot chocolate powder
  • Gold sanding sugar, optional

Instructions

  • In three separate, small sized, microwave safe bowls, melt bright green, dark green and white candy melts in 30 second increments, stirring in between.
  • Once melted, spoon some of each candy melt color into each half sphere mold, enough to fill the mold ⅓  full and spread it around the mold as evenly as possible. 
  • If you would like to be extra creative and fun with it, alternately mix and add candy melt colors then use your spoon to lightly swirl the colors together to create a marbled effect. Be sure there is enough candy melt in each mold to thickly cover all sides so there are no thin spots.
  • Let set until hardened, about 10 minutes. If the top edge of the sphere feels thin or delicate, spread just a little more of the candy melt to reinforce it and let set until hardened.
  • Gently remove the spheres from the mold. In 6 of the sphere halves, place 1Tbsp of hot chocolate powder, several lucky charms marshmallows and some gold sanding sugar.
  • Warm a small plate in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Place the opposing, empty half of the sphere on the plate for 3-5 seconds to let the edges melt.
  • Match the empty half with the filled half and gently press them together. Run a clean finger along the seam to smooth it out. If the halves don’t stay together, you can warm a metal butter knife by running it under hot water then run the warm knife over the edge of the filled half while the empty half is on the plate.
  • Once all of the hot cocoa bombs are together, serve and enjoy or package and give away!
  • To make hot cocoa, simply warm 6 oz of milk and place hot cocoa bomb into a mug with warmed milk and stir! For extra pizzazz, sprinkle extra marshmallows on top of prepared hot cocoa and sprinkle with more sanding sugar!
