Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 6 tablespoons premium hot cocoa mix
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup Halloween-themed sprinkles (orange, black, and green)
- 12–15 edible candy eyes
- 1/4 cup orange candy melts (for decoration)
- 1/4 cup green candy melts (for decoration)
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each session, until the chocolate is completely smooth and liquid. Be careful not to overheat it, as chocolate can burn easily.
- Using a spoon or a clean food-grade paintbrush, coat the inside of a sphere-shaped silicone mold with a layer of melted chocolate. Ensure the chocolate reaches all the way to the top edges. Place the mold in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to set. If the layer looks thin, apply a second coat and freeze again.
- Carefully pull the silicone mold away from the edges of the chocolate and gently push from the bottom to pop the half-spheres out. Handle them as little as possible to avoid melting them with your finger warmth or leaving fingerprints.
- Place six of the chocolate halves on a clean surface. Fill each one with 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix, a few mini marshmallows, and a pinch of Halloween sprinkles. These will be the bottom halves of your bombs.
- Heat a small plate in the microwave for about 30 seconds until it is warm. Take an empty chocolate half and briefly press its rim onto the warm plate to melt the edge slightly. Immediately place it on top of a filled half and hold for a few seconds to seal the two together.
- Melt the orange and green candy melts in separate bowls. Drizzle the colored chocolate over the sealed bombs to create patterns. While the drizzle is still wet, attach the edible candy eyes or extra sprinkles to create monster faces or pumpkin designs.
