How to Make Gingerbread Hot Chocolate Bomb

Before you get started you’ll need to grab your supplies. You’ll need:

• 2 cups Chocolate Candy Melts
• 2 cups Hot Chocolate Mix
• 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
• ¼ cup White Candy Melts
• Gingerbread Sprinkles
• Gingerbread Spice Mix:
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cloves
  • 1 tbsp Ground ginger

Here’s what you’ll do:

1. Place chocolate candy melts and white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package.
2. Combine all of the spices for your gingerbread spice mix and mix together well with a fork or whisk.
3. Place 2 tbsp 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 12 bomb mold halves.
4. Place the chocolate filled bomb molds into the freezer for 5 minutes.
5. Remove molds from the freezer and gently tap the sides of the mold, pressing on one side of the chocolate to make the chocolate slide out of the mold.
6. Fill 6 of the molds with 1 1/2 tbsp hot chocolate mix, 1 tsp gingerbread spice mix, and 6-8 mini marshmallows.
7. Heat a plate or a flat-bottom bowl in the microwave until the surface of the plate is warm to the touch.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Using a piping bag or a fork, drizzle the remaining candy melts over the assembled hot cocoa bombs then immediately follow by sprinkling the gingerbread sprinkles over them.
11. 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.
12. To use the hot cocoa bombs, place them in a mug and pour 2 cups hot milk over the top. Stir until the hot cocoa bombs are completely melted and enjoy!
