Difficulty for these Chocolate Bombs Recipe:  Easy

Prep time:  30 minutes

Bake time: N/A

Servings: 9 (2.5 inch size bombs)

Grocery Stores Snowman Chocolate Bombs Ingredients:

20 oz bag white chocolate chips or candy melts

2 c milk chocolate hot chocolate mix

1 - 1 ½ c mini dehydrated mini marshmallows 

½ c dark chocolate chips

¼ c orange candy chocolate shell melts

Silicone chocolate mold 

Make sure you have a mug of hot milk ready!

Directions to make Melting Snowman Hot Chocolate Bombs

TO MAKE THE HOT CHOCOLATE BOMB:  

  1. Melt the chocolate melts in the microwave in 30 second increments and stir until smooth.  

  2. Fill each cavity of the hot chocolate silicone mold until covered.  We like to use the back of a spoon to draw the chocolate up the sides.  Allow to set.  

3. Follow up with another layer of melted chocolate around the top edge of each cavity where the two spheres are going to join.  A thicker edge is better!  Keep in mind that you don’t want to fill the entirety of the chocolate cavity too full of chocolate (it will try to rest in the bottom) as that means less cocoa mix and marshmallows.  Allow to set. 

4. Remove the half of the sphere from the half sphere molds very gently.  

5. Using a warm frying pan, gently melt the ridge of one hardened chocolate shell. 

6. Fill with drink mix of choice and any marshmallows, if desired.  

7. Then take another shell half and place in the frying pan to melt down the edges.  Immediately place this shell on top of the filled half in order to create the seal and join the two halves to make the complete sphere.  Gently press along the sides to clean up the seal and remove any excess melted chocolate.  

8. Set to the side in a dry place as you finish the remaining bombs. 

TO DECORATE THE SNOWMAN HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS:

  1. Melt the chocolate chips and the orange candy melts.  

  2. Transfer the melted chocolates to individual piping bags.  

  3. Cut a small hole in the end of the chocolate and pipe two larger circles for the eyes and then about 5 smaller circles for the coal mouth on the hot chocolate bomb mold.

  4.  Cut a small hole in the end of the orange bag and pipe a triangular shape to form the nose.

  5. Allow to set for the piped chocolate to harden.

TO ENJOY THE HOT CHOCOLATE SNOWMAN BOMBS

 When ready to consume, place the bomb in a mug.  Heat up 8-12 oz of milk or water – the hotter the water the better the explosion.  Slowly pour over the bomb and stir thoroughly.  Allow to cool before consuming, if needed.  Enjoy!

Storage:  Hot cocoa bombs can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months at room temperature, but we feel pretty confident there is no way these delicious chocolate spheres will last that long!

In a season defined by chilly weather and warm sentiments, the Melting Snowman Hot Chocolate Bomb is a charming addition to the festivities. Beyond its delectable taste, it brings an element of fun and anticipation, adding a sprinkle of magic to an everyday cup of cocoa. So, why settle for a regular hot chocolate when you can gift an experience?

Share the joy, spread the warmth, and watch as this adorable snowman melts hearts and brings smiles to those you care about. Embrace the season's cheer with this delightful treat, because after all, who wouldn't want to sip on a cup of chocolatey goodness while watching a snowman melt away?

Give the gift of whimsy and comfort this winter and let the Melting Snowman Hot Chocolate Bomb create unforgettable moments that linger long after the snow has melted away.
