Minnie Mouse Hot Cocoa Bombs Ingredients
Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate melting wafers
Cookie sheet lined with wax paper
Mini Marshmallows
Wilton Royal Icing Bows or a bow mold to make your own
How To Make Hot Chocolate Bombs
Cut the silicone molds so that each sphere mold is by itself as shown in the 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.
Save about 16-20 size matching pieces of the melting wafers and set aside. Using a heat-safe bowl, pour into the bowl and place the remaining of the Ghirardelli melting wafers in the microwave for 45-second
intervals. Make sure to stir the chocolate after each 45 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
Using a spoon, spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the chocolate into the mold. Carefully swirl the chocolate to completely coat the inside of the mold. Lightly shake the extra chocolate 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 chocolate shell. Carefully place the mold onto a cutting board. Repeat steps with remaining molds.
You should now have 8 half-sphere molds. Scoop some of the melted chocolate into the piping bag and cut the tip.
Building the Minnie Mouse hot cocoa bomb
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the hot cocoa mix into the bottom of the sphere mold. Sprinkle in a few of the mini marshmallows.
Pipe a line of the melted chocolate 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 chocolate to harden to the top shell.
Finish off the hot chocolate bombs with some drizzled chocolate.
To make the ears, melt the bottom of the chocolate wafer so that it becomes a flat edge instead of round edge. Quickly place the freshly melted edge onto the side of the cocoa bomb to create an “Ear”. Repeat the same step with the second ear
Carefully pipe a line of chocolate onto the back of the royal icing bow. Gently place the bow onto the center of the cocoa mold.
Allow to harden before enjoying!
