Ingredients

  • 1 lb/450g dark green candy melting chocolate
  • 2 cups mint chocolate hot cocoa powder
  • 8-10 Nerdy Nummies Red Candy Hearts or other red heart-shaped candy
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup bright and colorful sprinkles mix that includes hearts
  • 2 Silicone Sphere Molds*

Instructions

  • To prepare your molds, use a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth to wipe the inside of the silicone molds. This will allow your chocolate sphere to have a shiny coat on it.
  • To make removing the chocolate shells from the mold easier, you can cut each section of the mold so you have individual pieces. This can give you more control, but is 100% optional and a personal choice! The photo below is of another chocolate bomb, but demonstrates what I mean!
    Chocolate Bomb Mold
  • Line a cookie sheet (or tray or plate) with wax paper and set aside.
  • Pour the green candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 45-second intervals, stirring each time until the candy is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, follow the directions on the package.
  • Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the melted candy into one of the mold cavities.
  • Carefully swirl the melted candy to completely coat the inside of the mold,
  • Lightly shake the extra candy back into the bowl.
  • Repeat steps 5-7 for as many chocolate bombs as you are making. You will need two halves per bomb.
  • Place the coated molds into the fridge for 5-10 minutes to set.
  • Remove from the fridge and gently peel the silicone mold back away from the hardened candy and carefully place it onto your prepared cookie sheet.
  • Repeat step 10 with the rest of the set molded candy.
  • To build the Grinch chocolate bombs, place about 1 tablespoon of mint chocolate hot cocoa powder into one candy half-shell.
  • Pour in some sprinkles - about ½ teaspoon.
  • Sprinkle in a few mini marshmallows.
  • Add a heart-shaped sprinkle on top. It'll get mixed in, but you'll know it's there!

There are two methods for attaching the top candy half-shell to the bottom one:

  • Method 1: Melt some green candy melts and pour into a disposable piping bag, then pipe it around the edge of the bottom shell. Carefully place the top shell onto the bottom one and gently hold them in place for 30-60 seconds to allow the piped candy to harden and "glue" the pieces together.
  • Method 2: Warm up a shallow frying pan on the stove. Place a piece of wax paper into the pan, and holding the top half-shell, rub gently on the wax paper until the edges start to melt a bit. Use this to then stick the top to the bottom, holding together until set.
  • Whichever method you use, carefully pick up the bomb and make sure that there are no gaps around the middle of the green chocolate bomb.
  • When all of your candy shells have been filled and stuck together, melt some more candy in the microwave and transfer to a disposable piping bag.
  • Drizzle the candy melts over the bomb and place a red candy heart in the center.
  • Leave to set for about 10 minutes.

Notes

*You can make whatever size (and even shape!) you like as long as they fit inside your mug! We used a mold approx 2.5"/70mm - you can make them slightly bigger or smaller.
