Ingredients

8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup hot cocoa mix
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
2 oz white chocolate chips
1/4 tsp (optional) black food coloring gel

Instructions

Step 1: Melt 8 oz semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
Step 2: Using a silicone sphere mold, spoon 1 tbsp melted chocolate into each cavity, swirling to coat the inside evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes and repeat to build a sturdy shell.
Step 3: Once hardened, fill each half-sphere with 1 tbsp hot cocoa mix and 1 tbsp mini marshmallows. Warm the rim of a half-sphere with a warm plate and seal two halves together to form a complete sphere. Chill again to set.
Step 4: Melt 2 oz white chocolate chips and mix in 1/4 tsp black food coloring gel if desired for spiderweb effect. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe concentric circles on the bombs.
Step 5: Drag a toothpick from the center outward through the circles to create a spiderweb pattern. Allow to set before serving.
Step 6: Drop one hot chocolate bomb into a mug and pour 8 oz hot milk over it, stirring to melt and enjoy.
