Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces green candy melts
- 6 tablespoons hot chocolate mix powder
- 6 tablespoons dehydrated mini marshmallows (or regular mini marshmallows)
- 6 ounces red candy melts
- Red heart sprinkles or piped red candy hearts
- Large silicone mold of half spheres
Instructions
- Melt Green Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted.
- Prepare the Mold: Using a spoon, fill each cavity of the silicone mold with the melted green chocolate, coating the bottom and sides to form a shell. Let it harden for about 15 minutes.
- Create Half Spheres: Gently pop the hardened chocolate out of the mold to create two half spheres.
- Melt Red Candy Melts: Melt the red candy melts in the same way. Pipe or mold small red hearts on parchment paper and let them harden.
- Fill the Shells: Fill one half of each green chocolate shell with 1 tablespoon of hot chocolate mix and 1 tablespoon of mini marshmallows.
- Seal the Bombs: Carefully heat the edges of the second half sphere and place it on top of the filled half to seal them together. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to harden.
- Decorate: Melt a bit of leftover green candy melts and drizzle it over the hot chocolate bombs for decoration. Place a red heart on top before the drizzle hardens.
- Serve: To use, place one Grinch Hot Chocolate Bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it. Stir and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure that the chocolate is fully melted before attempting to coat the mold for a smooth finish.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
