How to Make Reese’s Hot Cocoa Bombs:

Brush some melted chocolate into these sphere-shaped silicon molds. This may take 2 or 3 layers to ensure the outside shell is thick and won’t break or leak.
Once fully chilled and hard, fill them with hot chocolate powder and mini marshmallows.
Seal the two chocolate spheres halves together by placing a plate in the microwave for a minute to heat up. Place one half of the sphere on it to slightly melt the chocolate and combine the 2 halves.
Drizzle the Reese’s bomb with melted chocolate, peanut butter, caramel sauce, or sprinkles. (These salted caramel bombs can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for an on the spot hot cocoa experience!)
To enjoy, simply put the hot cocoa bomb in a mug. Fill it up with steaming hot milk and watch how the chocolate spheres melt away to reveal a tasty surprise.

Instructions

To Make the Hot Chocolate Powder:

Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

To Make the Hot Chocolate Bombs:

Melt the chocolate bark according to the package directions.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of melted chocolate to each of the silicone molds. Use a spoon or culinary brush to push the chocolate all the way to the top edges of the mold. Make sure to get a thick layer all the way around.
Place the chocolate molds in the fridge to chill until the chocolate has fully hardened– about 10 minutes. Repeat with another layer of chocolate. Harden again.
Remove the chocolate from the molds. Fill half of the molds with hot chocolate powder and mini marshmallows.
Place a plate in the microwave for 1 minute. Place the other half of the chocolate sphere on the plate until it begins to melt. Place it on top of the filled half. Press the two chocolates together gently to seal them.
Drizzle the hot chocolate bomb with additional melted chocolate and/or peanut butter and decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
To serve, add one hot chocolate bomb to a large mug. Fill the mug with hot milk and stir until the hot chocolate bomb has dissolved.
