Ingredients
  

Cocoa Bomb Base
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips I love Ghirardelli for its smooth melting
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt Balances sweetness
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon Using Ceylon cinnamon elevates the flavor
Filling
  • 6 tablespoons Hot Cocoa Mix Separated for filling
  • cup Granulated Sugar Look for organic for a richer flavor
  • cup Cocoa Powder Dutch-process works wonderfully
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon For filling
  • 15-18 pieces Mini Marshmallows Stay fluffy and cute
Equipment
  • 1 piece Silicone Chocolate Bomb Mold Essential for shaping your delightful treats

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of kosher salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
  2. Fill a medium pot almost halfway with water and bring it to a simmer over low heat. Place a heat-safe bowl on top of the pot, add the white chocolate chips, and stir until melted and smooth. Add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and stir to combine.
  3. Add a heaping spoonful of melted chocolate to each of the six molds, spreading it gently up the sides to form a shell. Freeze for 10 minutes until set.
  4. Carefully remove the chocolate cups from the mold. Place them on a lined baking sheet, ready for filling.
Assembly
  1. Fill three of the chocolate halves with 2 tablespoons of hot cocoa mix, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and 5-6 mini marshmallows.
  2. Gently melt the rims of the other three chocolate halves over the pot of warm water to create a sticky surface. Place one of the filled halves under a melted rim, pressing down lightly to seal.
  3. Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the tops and sprinkle with extra cinnamon or festive sprinkles if desired.
Enjoy
  1. To make hot chocolate, drop a snickerdoodle bomb into a mug and slowly pour about 1½ cups of hot milk over it. Give it a stir and watch the magic happen!
