These might not be picture perfect, but they were tasty, and fun to make.
Well, not as much fun as they could have been. With Stupid Covid around, we couldn’t do group treat making.
Originally, I’d planned on making the shells and having trays of goodies for the grand fairies to fill them with. Instead, I made them myself, kept it simple and just filled them with marshmallows.
The first step is melting the chocolate and lining silicone molds with it.
Since the shell is what stirs into the hot milk to make it chocolate, don’t use those paraffin tasting fake chocolate melts. Use something delicious like Ghiradelli chips.
After the chocolate sets up, carefully pop it out of the mold and fill it with whatever you like in your cocoa. I’d like to make them again and add some peppermints or a little instant coffee for a mocha.
Once filled, smear a bit of melted chocolate on the rim of one piece to use as glue, and firmly but gently, push two pieces together.
Then, warm your milk, place a bomb in a mug, and pour the milk over it.
I realized it was called a bomb because the shell melts quickly and the marshmallows pop suddenly to the top. Sorry, no photos of the end product or popping marshmallows. Due to Stupid Covid, we sipped our mugs of deliciousness outside by the fire in the dark.
Which I will not complain about, because we are dang lucky to be able to get together with family and enjoy treats together. And we were blessed with lovely weather to be outside in.
That is very cool! I might even have the ingredients for making them, all except the molds. I may have to improvise there! Keep creating and great giving us ideas!
