Another magical treat from The Grinch. These Grinch Cocoa Bombs are awesome and your kids will enjoy them for a treat this Christmas season. Take your kid's cocoa up a few notches with these fun cocoa bombs.
Ingredients
- 2 Silicone Sphere Molds
- 1 lb of Dark Green Candy Melts
- 2 cup Mint Chocolate Hot Cocoa Powder
- 8-10 Nerdy Nummies Red Candy Hearts
- 1 disposable piping bag
- 1 cookie sheet fitted with wax paper
- 2 cup Mini Marshmallows
- 1 cup Bright Colorful Sprinkles
Instructions
This part is 100% optional and a personal choice:
- Cut the silicone molds so that each sphere mold is by itself as shown in the process image. I did this because I felt it was easier to control the mold when working with the melted chocolate.
- 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.
- Using a heat-safe bowl, pour the dark green candy melts into the bowl and place in the microwave for 45-second intervals.
- Make sure to stir the candy melts after every 45 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
- Using a spoon, spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the melted candy melts into the mold.
- Carefully swirl the melted candy melt to completely coat the inside of the mold.
- Lightly shake the extra candy melt 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 candy melt.
- Carefully place the mold onto a cutting board.
- Repeat steps with the remaining molds.
- You should now have 8 half-sphere molds.
- Scoop some of the melted candy melt into the piping bag and cut the tip
Building the cocoa bomb :
- Scoop about 1 tbsp of the hot cocoa mix into the bottom of the sphere mold.
- Sprinkle in a pinch of the sprinkles.
- Sprinkle in a few of the mini marshmallows.
- Pipe a line of the melted candy melt 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 candy melt to harden to the top shell.
- Carefully 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 the candy melt over the bomb.
- Place a heart into the center and allow it to harden for 10 minutes!
- Enjoy!
Notes
Microwave time for melt time is like 45 seconds to 90 seconds.
