Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Hot cocoa mix
  • 10 ounce bag candy melts color of your choice
  • 6 cups Milk, steaming hot note: one cup needed for each bomb
  • Decorations Optional

Instructions
 

Bomb shells

  • Pour candy melts into a heat-proof bowl.
  • Place 1" of water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  • Set bowl of candy melts over the simmering water. Note: bottom of the bowl should not be touching the water and the water should not be boiling.
  • Stir candy melts every few minutes until melted. Remove from heat.
  • Using a silicone pastry brush, paint the candy melts into the silicone molds. This is a thin coat - a second coat will be added after the first coat sets.
  • Place molds in refrigerator for 10 minutes or until candy melts are set.
  • Paint a second coat of candy melts in the molds. Make sure to cover any thin spots. Place molds back in refrigerator for another 10 minutes.
  • Gently remove the domes from the mold by pushing up gently from the bottom.
  • Lightly heat the bottom of a cake or sheet pan by placing on a stove burner or using a kitchen torch. Place one of the domes, round side up, on the warm surface until it just begins to melt.
  • Fill six of the domes with 2 tablespoons cocoa mix and several mini marshmallows.
  • Place an unfilled dome on a warm pan until the edge just begins to melt. Immediately place this on a filled dome. These melted edges should line up and create a bond. Repeat for remaining domes.
  • Decorate as desired.
  • Place bomb in a mug; heat milk until steaming and slowly pour over the bomb. Wait a few minutes then stir until melted. Note: check the temperature of the drink before serving to children to ensure it isn't overly hot.
