Supplies:

microwave safe bowl
spoon
heart shaped silicone mold (or this one)
small piping bags or sandwich bags
a plate
scissors
a hot plate (or a frying pan

Ingredients:

1 cup chocolate chips
hot chocolate mix
mini marshmallows
sprinkles or crushed candies (optional)
Candy melts in the color of your choice (optional)

Directions:

Place a plate in the freezer.

Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, 30 seconds at a time (stirring in intervals to make sure it doesn’t burn) until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Use a spoon to drop a spoonful of chocolate into the first cavity of the heart mold. Use the back of the spoon to coat the mold completely. *Be sure to wipe away any excess chocolate. Fill the other molds in the same way, then freeze the mold for 10 to 15 minutes.

*tip- The heart halves can be difficult to remove from the silicone mold. They will be easier to remove if you cut the mold apart into 6 separate heart molds.

Remove the plate and mold from the freezer.

Carefully remove each half of the heart from the mold and set them on the now frozen plate.

Spoon 2 spoonfuls of hot chocolate mix into one side of each heart mold.

Add a small handful of mini marshmallows and any candies or sprinkles you choose.

Connect the two sides of the heart together by melting more chocolate, placing it in a piping bag and using it to ‘glue’ the two sides of the heart together. Or, you can place the edges of the empty half of the heart to a hot plate (or heated frying pan) to barely melt the edge- then stick it to the other half of the heart.

Now you can choose to decorate the outside of the Heart Hot Cocoa Bomb with melted white chocolate, a colored candy melt of your choice, and sprinkles.
