Temper the chocolate.

01

Chop the dark chocolate bars into fine pieces and place them in a large microwave-safe bowl. To properly temper chocolate, microwave the chocolate in 10-second intervals, giving a stir in between. After each heating interval, check the temperature of the chocolate with an instant-read thermometer. The temperature needs to be between 88-90 °F. If it goes above 90 degrees, the chocolate will change into a dusty matte brown color once set, which you want to avoid.

Mold it.

02

Once the chocolate is melted and reaches between 88-90 degrees Fahrenheit, pour the melted chocolate into the silicone molds and evenly distribute a thick layer of chocolate with a small spatula or pastry brush. Now place the chocolate filled molds into the fridge and chill for 10-15 minutes.Wearing food-grade gloves, remove the chocolate from the mold.

Fill the molds.

03

Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat, then slightly melt the rim of half of a chocolate spheres in the hot pan. Place them open side up and fill them with hot cocoa mix and a few mini marshmallows. Then melt the rim of the remaining half and seal the hot cocoa bombs with another warmed half sphere.

Decorate.

04

Place the sealed hot cocoa bombs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with melted white chocolate and your favorite holiday sprinkles.
