• 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! See the photo below.
  
• Remove 20 melting wafers from the package and set them aside. These will become the ears.
• Line a cookie sheet (or tray or plate) with wax paper and set it aside.
• Pour the chocolate wafers into a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 45-second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate 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 chocolate to completely coat the inside of the mold,
• Lightly shake the extra chocolate back into the bowl.
• Repeat steps 6-8 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 chocolate shell and carefully place the mold onto the cookie sheet. Repeat with all of the molds.
• To build the cocoa bombs, place about 1 tablespoon of chocolate hot cocoa powder into one half-shell.
• Sprinkle in a few mini marshmallows.
• Pour in some sprinkles - about ½ teaspoon.

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

• Method 1: Pour some melted chocolate 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 chocolate 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 chocolate bombs.
• Place the bombs back on the cookie sheet.
• Transfer some melted chocolate to a piping bag or food bag and snip off the tip.
• Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bombs and sprinkle over some Valentine's Day sprinkles.
• To add the "ears" follow the pan warming instructions in step 17/method 2 and melt the bottom of a reserved chocolate wafer so that it becomes a flat edge. Quickly place on top of the bomb and hold in place till is sticks. Repeat with the other ear, then repeat with all of the ears on the cocoa bombs.
• To turn the Mickey hot cocoa bombs into Minnie, stick a bow to the top using some melted chocolate as the "glue".
• Leave all to set thoroughly before enjoying!
