EASTER EGG HOT COCOA BOMB RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by placing the yellow candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, and melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until smooth and creamy.
Stir the chocolate well, and spoon or ladle it into the molds, making sure to coat the inside of the molds.
Pour the excess chocolate back into the bowl, place the molds in the refrigerator or freezer, and let harden for 15 minutes.
Remove molds from the refrigerator or freezer, and carefully remove the half chocolate eggs from molds, placing 8 half eggs in a row.
These will be the bottom parts or half of the cocoa bombs.
Heat a nonstick skillet, on low, and place one-half ball with the open side down, melting just the edges, remove, and place on a cookie sheet, and fill the ball with the powdered cocoa mix and mini marshmallows.
Repeat, until all 8 eggs are done.
Place the other half of the chocolate eggs in the skillet, with the open side down, and melt just the edges of the egg.
Remove from the skillet, and immediately place on one of the chocolate eggs, filled with the cocoa, etc., making the top of the egg/bomb.
Or place a microwave-safe plate in the microwave for 1 minute and then remove and place the edges of the cocoa bomb on it to melt it.
Hold the hot cocoa bomb in place for a few seconds to make sure the top and bottom are melted together.
Next, melt the white candy melts in a bowl and pour them into a Ziploc bag.
Cut the tip-off of the Ziploc bag and drizzle melted white candy in back and forth motion on top of cocoa bombs and add sprinkles.
Place them in the refrigerator or freezer for 30 minutes, until the chocolate is completely set.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until ready to use.
Place one hot cocoa bomb in the bottom of a large mug, and pour heated milk over the top.
The cocoa bomb will melt and bubble, and marshmallows will float to the top. Stir the powdered cocoa, and enjoy!
In about an hour, you’ll have a beautiful hot chocolate drink that’s sure to become a new favorite!
