You can either do this in a double boiler or by microwaving the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring each time. Stirring in-between and microwaving in smaller spurts prevents the chocolate from burning.<\/li>\n<li>Once melted, spread the chocolate into the molds using the back of a spoon. Make sure it&#8217;s fully covered and thick enough that when when you remove it, it won&#8217;t break.\u00a0Once all of your molds are covered, let them dry\/harden completely. I put ours in the freezer and it hardened them quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the chocolate from the molds and in the &#8220;bottom&#8221; half, put your hot cocoa and marshmallows.\u00a0 I used pre-packaged hot cocoa, and each bomb fit about half a packet. Heat your saucepan on low, and with the &#8220;top&#8221; half of the chocolate, set it gently on the saucepan with the edge side down, and melt the edges just enough so that when you put it on the bottom half, it&#8217;ll stick and form a ball. It&#8217;ll only be on the heat for about a second.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to dress them up a bit- melt more chocolate (I used white chocolate) and melt the same way you did the first time. Put it in a ziplock bag, snip the end off, and drizzle over your bombs. Finish with a few sprinkles and you&#8217;re done!<\/li>\n<li>When ready to enjoy, place in a wide mug and top with steamed milk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>ENJOY!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As always, thank you for stopping by!<\/p>\n<p>&lt;3 Shannon<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We made these for the first time yesterday on New Year&#8217;s Eve and they were a HUGE hit!
