Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chocolate melts (milk or dark)
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Colorful sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate melts in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Coat the Molds: Using a spoon or pastry brush, evenly coat silicone molds with melted chocolate.
- Chill: Place coated molds in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until chocolate hardens completely.
- Fill with Goodness: Gently remove hardened shells from molds. Fill half with mini marshmallows, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract.
- Seal Your Bombs: Warm a plate in the microwave for about one minute. Briefly press an empty shell onto the warm plate to melt its edge slightly, then place it on top of a filled shell to seal.
- Decorate and Serve: Drizzle melted chocolate on top and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles if desired. Drop one bomb into hot milk to enjoy!
