How To Make A Mickey Mouse Hot Cocoa Charcuterie Board
Step 1: Start with Mickey Cocoa Bomb
Add red chocolate to a small bowl and melt in the microwave in 30 seconds. Mix to combine. Place the red chocolate back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and mix again to combine. Repeat this step for the black chocolate.
Fill ½ of the molds with red melted chocolate ⅓ of the way full. Swirl the mold to get the red chocolate to coat all sides of the mold and keep the center hollow. Repeat with the other half of the molds with the black chocolate. Place in the freezer for about 25 minutes.
Very carefully remove the chocolate from the mold. In the red half add cocoa mix and mini marshmallows. Heat a small frying pan on low, take one of the black chocolate halves and press the open edges onto the pan for a few seconds to melt the chocolate. Connect the black half to the red half chocolate and connect them together and seal them together. Set to the side and allow to dry.
Step 2: Proceed with Mickey Ears
Use 2 black chocolate candy melts and cut a straight edge on one side of the melt. In a bowl with the remaining black chocolate melts, place it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Dip the straight edge of the candy melt into melted chocolate and place the ear melted chocolate side down onto the top of the hot cocoa bomb. Place in the freezer for a few minutes to harden.
In a bowl, melt a few yellow candy melts in the microwave for about 30 seconds and mix to combine. Place in a disposable piping bag and cut the tip-off. Pipe Mickey's buttons on the front of the red part of the cocoa bomb. Place back in the freezer for a few minutes.
Step 3: Prep the Hot Chocolate
Bring milk to a simmer over medium heat until hot. Take your Lindor truffles or take your Mickey cocoa bomb and place it in your mug. Once milk is heated, pour over the truffles and whisk until they are melted and well combined. Also, garnish your mugs with any of the extra items on the board.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
Choose a large, flat, wood board, or a glass serving board.
You can also choose to use a Mickey Mouse head wood board!
Add the cocoa bowl, cookie cutters, and small ramekins to the board.
Fill the cookie cutters with the mini marshmallows and snowball whoppers. Then, fill your ramekins with the sprinkles and baking chips.
Now add the rest of your items in various places filling in all holes on the board. Place the Mickey Cocoa bombs on top.
Serve and enjoy the charcuterie board.
This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings and can be prepared for about 35 minutes.
