Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces Almond bark
  • 1 tablespoon Hot chocolate mix
  • 1 cup Pink candy melts
  • 1 cup Teal candy melts
  • 1 cup Assorted unicorn sprinkles
  • 1 cup Unicorn candy toppers
  • 1 cup Lucky Charm marshmallows

Equipment

  • Hot Chocolate Bomb Mold

Method
 

  1. Start by melting your almond bark. You can do this using a double boiler or by microwaving it in a medium microwave-safe bowl. If using a microwave, heat it in 30-second increments, stirring in between until fully melted. The texture should be smooth and glossy.
  2. Once melted, take a spoon and place a bit of the melted chocolate into each mold of your Hot Chocolate Bomb Mold. Make sure to cover the bottom and sides, creating a nice shell.
  3. Now, smooth the chocolate up and around the edges of the mold. This will help create a sturdy shell that holds all your delicious fillings.
  4. Next, place the mold in the fridge for about 10 to 15 minutes to let the chocolate set. Keep an eye on it; you want it to harden just enough to hold its shape.
  5. After the initial chill, spoon a little more melted chocolate into each hardened shell and spread it around for a second coat. This adds durability to your bombs. Chill them again for another 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Carefully remove the chocolate shells from the molds once they are fully hardened. Gently tap the molds to help the shells release.
  7. Microwave a small glass plate for 30 to 45 seconds and set it aside. This will be used to smooth the edges of your chocolate shells.
  8. Take one shell and place it on the warm plate to slightly melt the edges. Do this for half of your shells to create the top and bottom halves.
  9. For the fillings, fill half of the shells with 1 tablespoon of hot chocolate mix, some assorted unicorn sprinkles, and a few Lucky Charm marshmallows. This is where the magic happens!
  10. Now, take each of the remaining half shells and place them on the warm plate to lightly melt the edges again. This will help them adhere when you place them together.
  11. Immediately place the top shell onto the filled shell and press gently to seal. Use your finger to smooth out the seam, ensuring that the filling stays inside.
  12. Finally, melt your pink candy melts in a small microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Repeat the same process with the teal candy melts.
  13. Drizzle the pink and teal chocolate over each Hot Chocolate Bomb and immediately decorate them with the unicorn candies and sprinkles. Let them set for a moment.
  14. To serve, place a bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it. Stir until completely melted, and enjoy your delicious creation!
