Warming Up those Winter Days!

Hot cocoa is one of those things that I always remember about snowy days from when I was a kid. When I was growing up, we had this overpass hill not too far from my house with a little creek by it. My friends and I used to spend all day sledding down the hill, making snow forts, building snow people, and trying to skate on the creek. The creek was pretty shallow, and I can’t tell you how many times one of us broke the ice!

When it was just me and my mom, we didn’t have a lot of money for extras. However, she always made sure we had hot cocoa for days just like that. Coming in after wearing myself out in the cold and drinking cocoa are some of my favorite memories from back then! Granted, these days, I am not a big fan of the cold. Nevertheless, the kids love to go to the sledding hill in Mill Creek, which I must admit is a pretty sweet set up!

Making hot cocoa is a big treat for my kids. I love finding ways to make those special touches Mostly, it is because I want them to remember those moments when they are adults like I remember the ones from when I was a kid! But enough about me and nostalgia! Letme show you how to make your own Hot Cocoa Bombs!

 

Valentine’s Day Hot Cocoa Bombs

Ingredients:

• 1-12oz bag Wilton Light Cocoa Candy Melts
• Hot Cocoa Bomb Silicone Mold
• Scoopable Hot Cocoa Powder
• Miniature Marshmallows
• Sprinkles
• Decorating Bag

Directions:

1. Place 12 ounces of candy melts in a microwave safe bowl, heat on 50% power in the microwave for 3-5 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
2. Use a teaspoon to scoop the chocolate into the half circles on the silicone mold, one at a time. Spreading the chocolate evenly onto the sides and bottom of mold until completely coated in melted chocolate. Do the same to all 12 half circles.
3. Place the silicone molds into the freezer for 2-3 minutes and remove.
4. Add a second layer of melted chocolate to the half circles molds, especially on the edges.
5. Freeze again for another minute and remove.
6. Carefully stretch the silicone molds to remove the half circles.
7. Turn the mold upside down and place the rounded sides in between the molds as a stand while filling.
8. Add 1 tablespoon and of hot cocoa powder to the one side, about 5 mini marshmallows, and some sprinkles.
9. Reheat the chocolate if it has hardened and add 4 tablespoons to a decorating bag.
10. Cut a small tip off the decorating bag and frost the edge of one half chocolate circle. Carefully and quickly add an empty chocolate circle on top to make a sphere and hold it in place for 15 seconds or until the chocolate has acted like glue and hardened.
11. Place onto a plate and drizzle melted chocolate on top with the decorating bag and quickly top with sprinkles.
12. Let the chocolate harden and place in a glass of warm/hot milk, stir, and watch the bomb melt to see what’s inside or place in an empty glass and pour hot milk on top of the bomb, watching it melt, and then stir.
