How to make Hot Chocolate Bombs

You will need:

200g Chocolate (makes about 6)

6tsp Hot Chocolate Powder

50g Mini Marshmallows

Half Circle Moulds

To melt the chocolate:

1. Firstly, chop the chocolate into small pieces. Put aside 20g of chocolate.

2. Then we will temper the chocolate using a cheats method with a microwave so you don't require a thermometer. Put your chopped chocolate into a microwavable bowl. Microwave your chocolate for 30 seconds and mix. Then only melt for additional 10 seconds at a time. Once the chocolate is mostly melted, keep stirring it until it melts completely (by keeping the amount of time heated down we can keep the chocolate under 30C which then allows it to temper and set - if you have a thermometer you can use it to make sure you don't go above 30C).

3. Coat the moulds trying to keep the sides even, pop into the fridge for 10 mins to set

4. Then patch up where the sides are thin. Once you happy with the thickness then add 1 tsp of hot chocolate and some mini marshmellows to one half. Melt the remaining chocolate and use to attach the 2 sides together.

5. To use, add to hot milk and stir until melted.
