How to Make Grinch Hot Cocoa Bombs
Use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and wipe the inside of the silicone molds. This will allow your chocolate mold to have a shiny coat on it.
Using a heat safe bowl, pour the dark green candy melts into the bowl and place in the microwave for 30 second intervals. Make sure to stir the candy melts after each 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
Using a spoon, spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the melted candy melts into the mold making sure to only fill the sides of the mold all the way to the top and keeping the inside hollow. Use the back of a spoon to guide the chocolate throughout the mold.
Place the coated molds into the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
Remove from the fridge and gently peel the silicone mold back away from the hardened chocolate. Carefully place the mold onto a cutting board. Repeat steps with remaining molds.
Scoop some of the melted candy melt into the piping bag and cut the tip.
Building the Hot Cocoa Bomb
Scoop about 1-2 tbsp of the hot cocoa mix into the bottom of one sphere mold. Sprinkle in a pinch of the sprinkles and a few mini marshmallows on top of the hot cocoa mix.
Pipe a line of the melted candy melt around the edge of the bottom shell.
Carefully place the top shell onto the bottom and gently hold the top to the bottom for about 30 seconds to a minute to allow the piped candy melt to harden to the top shell.
Carefully pick up the bomb and make sure that there is no opening around the center of the shells.
Place the mold back onto the cutting board. Drizzle the candy melt over the bomb. Place a heart into the center and allow to harden for 10 minutes!
