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.
