Equipment

  • 1 silicone mold

Ingredients

  • Chocolate for tempering or chocolate melting wafers
  • Mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup Bailey's Irish Cream
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup hot chocolate mix
  • Additional chocolate for drizzling optional

Instructions

If using chocolate for tempering:

  • Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Heat the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until it is about three-quarters melted.
  • Remove the bowl from the microwave and continue stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

If using chocolate melting wafers:

  • Place the wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Line the silicone molds with the melted chocolate, making sure to coat the inside evenly and get into all the corners and crevices.
  • Place the mold in the fridge for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
  • Repeat the process to create a second layer of chocolate in the mold.
  • Carefully pop the chocolate shells out of the mold. You should now have two half-sphere shapes.

To make the Bailey's Irish Cream ganache:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine Bailey's Irish Cream and chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the hot chocolate mix until well combined.

To assemble the hot chocolate bombs:

  • Place one of the chocolate shells onto a plate or tray.
  • Fill the center of the chocolate shell with a spoonful of Bailey's Irish Cream ganache and a few mini marshmallows.
  • Place the other chocolate shell on top of the filled shell, gently pressing the edges together to seal the bomb.
  • Heat a plate or pan on the stove over low heat. Place one of the hot chocolate bombs on the hot surface for a few seconds, just until the edge begins to melt slightly.
  • Carefully place the partially-melted edge of the hot chocolate bomb against the non-melted edge of the other half of the bomb, pressing gently to seal them together.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining hot chocolate bombs.
  • If desired, drizzle the top of the hot chocolate bombs with additional melted chocolate and sprinkle with mini marshmallows.
  • To use the hot chocolate bombs, place one in a mug and pour hot milk over the top. As the bomb begins to melt, it will release the hot chocolate mix and any fillings inside, creating a delicious and creamy mug of hot chocolate. Enjoy!
