Ingredients
Units
For 3 Heart Shaped Hot Chocolate Bombs (for more, scale accordingly)
- 3/4 c white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate + more for decorating
- pink food coloring (REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS, STEP 2)
- 6 tsp strawberry milk powder
- 1/3 c dehydrated mini marshmallows
- silver luster dust (optional)
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler.
- To color the chocolate, you can do the following:
- Use powdered food dye
- Use an oil based food dye
- Mix a dab of coconut oil (less than 1/4 tsp) with gel food coloring separately, then add it to the melted chocolate (this is the method I used and it worked just fine!) DO NOT add liquid or gel food coloring directly into melted white chocolate.
- Mix the chocolate and food coloring well until fully incorporated.
- Spoon a generous 2 teaspoons of chocolate into each cavity of the mold.
- Using a small offset spatula, spoon or butter knife, spread the chocolate up the sides of the mold ensuring every bit is completely covered.
- Give the mold a couple of taps on the surface to settle the chocolate, and set aside for about 5 minutes.
- After that time, spread the chocolate up the sides again to thicken the sides of the shell.
- Tap the mold against the surface another time.
- Place the mold into the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes until fully set.
- To remove the shells, tug the corners of the molds until the sides loosen. Use your fingers to push under the mold to pop the chocolate shell out.
- Grab a small plate and add water to cover the surface. Microwave for 30 seconds or until very hot. You can also run the plate under hot water for a minute. Wipe the plate down and dry it off.
- Place one of the halves, edge side down on the plate, and move it around to soften and melt the rim.
- Fill with 2 teaspoons of strawberry milk powder and some marshmallows.
- Repeat step 12 with the other half of the bomb and seal the two halves together.
- To decorate, drizzle one side with melted white chocolate and sprinkles.
- Allow chocolate to set, then package if desired.
- When ready to drink, place the bomb in the bottom of a mug and pour over 6oz of hot milk. Stir, enjoy!
