Description
These delightful Hot Cocoa Balls with Marshmallows and Peanut Butter are a fun and indulgent treat perfect for cozying up on chilly days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chocolate candy melts
- 2 cups hot chocolate mix
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter chips (half melted, half unmelted)
Instructions
- Place chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between increments until smooth and fully melted.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into one half of a bath bomb or candy ball mold. Use the bottom of your measuring spoon to press the chocolate up the sides evenly, maintaining thickness. Repeat this for 12 mold halves.
- Place the chocolate-filled molds into the freezer for 5 minutes to allow them to harden.
- Remove the molds from the freezer and gently tap the sides to loosen the chocolate shells, then carefully slide them out of the molds.
- Fill half of the chocolate shells with 1 tablespoon hot chocolate mix, 1 tablespoon of unmelted peanut butter chips, and 6-8 mini marshmallows.
- Heat a plate or a flat-bottomed bowl in the microwave until warm to the touch.
- Press an empty chocolate shell open-side-down onto the warm plate for about 10 seconds to gently melt the rim.
- Immediately press the warmed chocolate rim shell over the filled shell to seal both halves together, forming a complete hot cocoa bomb.
- Using a piping bag or fork, drizzle the melted peanut butter chips over the assembled cocoa bombs for an extra decorative touch.
- Place the assembled hot cocoa bombs back in the freezer for 5 minutes to solidify the seal, then store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
- To enjoy, place one hot cocoa bomb into a mug and pour 2 cups of hot milk over it. Stir well until fully melted and enjoy your rich, creamy hot chocolate.
