Cookies and Cream Hot Cocoa Bombs
Equipment
- 2 6-Opening Silicone Cocoa Bomb Molds (2.5" diameter)
- Microwave Safe Bowl
- Spoon or Pastry Brush
- Small Microwave Safe Plate
- Small Cupcake Wrappers / Mini Muffin Papers
Ingredients
- 9 ounces White Chocolate Callets (or white chocolate chips)
- ¼ cup Oreo Cookie Crumbs, plus more for decorating
- ½ cup Hot Chocolate Mix
- ½ cup Mini Marshmallows
- 1.55 ounce Hershey’s Cookies 'n' Creme Candy Bar
Instructions
- Prepare 2 6-opening silicone molds by making sure they are clean and dry.
Melt
- Put white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on full power for 25 seconds, then mix well.
- Microwave again in bursts of 15 seconds, mixing well after each burst. When the chocolate starts to melt, use a food thermometer to check that the chocolate stays at about 85-87°F (do not go above 87°F).
- Repeat process, microwaving in bursts of 10-15 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted.
Mold
- With a teaspoon or pastry brush, coat each mold thinly with the chocolate, doing at least 2 coats. Ensure the edges of the molds are well coated.
- Place into the fridge for 5 minutes.
- Once solid, look for any thin areas in the half spheres and coat with a little more chocolate if necessary. If needed, pop again into the fridge for a few more minutes.
Fill
- Gently remove the chocolate half spheres from the silicone molds.
- Fill 6 of the chocolate half-spheres each with 2 Tablespoons of hot cocoa mix, as much mini marshmallows as desired and Cookies 'n' Creme chocolate bits.
- Take the empty chocolate half-spheres, place each rim side down on a warm plate to melt the edge slightly and place on top of a filled half sphere and gently press together to seal the sphere.
- Repeat the process until all the spheres are complete.
Decorate
- Drizzle each bomb with remaining melted white chocolate or dark chocolate (for more contrast) and sprinkle with crushed Oreos.
Serve
- When ready to serve, put 1 cocoa bomb into a mug, pour 7-8oz of steaming hot milk into the cup and mix. The bomb takes about 5-10 seconds to completely dissolve. Top with more marshmallows if desired. Enjoy.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate for best results. I used Callebaut white chocolate callets with 28% cocoa (or good white chocolate chips).
- Make sure the Oreos are crushed to fine crumbs to make it easy to mix well with the white chocolate.
- Store in an air tight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 2 months.
- I used molds which are about 2.5 inches in size.
