How to make Ginger Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa Bombs

Now that you have gathered your ingredients, you can make Ginger Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa Bombs. All you have to do is follow the steps below:

Place chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package. Do not overheat or you could scorch the chocolate.

Place one tablespoon melted candy melt into one half of a bomb mold and, using the bottom of your tablespoon measuring spoon, press the chocolate up the sides of the mold, keeping it thick but even. Repeat with twelve bomb mold halves. Reserve remaining candy melts for use later.

Place the chocolate-filled bomb molds into the freezer for 5 minutes or until the chocolate has set.

Remove molds from the freezer and gently peel the silicone mold away from the chocolate cups. Be careful not to break the shells.

Fill six of the molds with one tablespoon hot chocolate mix, about one teaspoon candied ginger, and 6-8 mini marshmallows on top of the cocoa.

Heat a plate or a flat-bottom bowl in the microwave until the surface of the plate is warm to the touch.

Press one of the empty chocolate bomb halves open-side-down onto the flat portion of the warm plate for about 10 seconds. This will gently melt the rim of the chocolate cup. If your plate cools down too much, reheat.

Immediately press this warmed edge chocolate cup to the top of one of the filled cups. This will join the two halves of the hot cocoa bomb. If desired, add more of the chocolate melts to help shore-up that joint.

Using a piping bag or a fork, drizzle the remaining candy melts over the assembled hot cocoa bombs then immediately follow by adding more candied ginger on top. This adds a decorative touch, which makes these great for gift-giving.

Place the hot cocoa bombs into the freezer for 5 minutes to get them to set, then remove and store in an airtight container until you’re ready to use. These can be stored for up to 2 months.

To use the hot cocoa bombs, place them in a mug and pour two cups of hot milk over the top. Stir until the hot cocoa bombs are completely melted and enjoy!
