Description

These festive Grinch Hot Chocolate Bombs are a fun and delicious holiday treat. Made with vibrant green candy melts to form the chocolate shell, filled with rich Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix and marshmallows, they melt beautifully in hot milk to create a creamy, comforting drink. The bombs are sealed by gently melting the edges on a stovetop pan and decorated with drizzled white chocolate and a cute heart accent, making them a perfect gift or seasonal indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Shell

  • 1 bag green candy melts (such as Sweet Tooth Fairy)
  • 1/3 cup Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers

Filling

  • 6 tablespoons Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix
  • 15 marshmallows

For Serving

  • Approximately 3 cups hot milk

Instructions

  1. Melt Green Candy Melts: Melt the green candy melts according to the package instructions using a microwave, heating in short bursts and stirring between to ensure smooth consistency.
  2. Form Chocolate Shells: Spoon and spread the melted green candy melts into dome-shaped molds using the back of a spoon to coat the inside in a thin, even layer. Freeze the molds for 10 minutes to set. Check for any translucent spots and add more melted candy melts only to those areas to reinforce the shell. Freeze again for 10 minutes to firm up.
  3. Remove Shells from Mold: Gently pop out each half of the chocolate bombs from the molds and place them on a plate, handling carefully to avoid cracks.
  4. Seal Bomb Halves: Heat a frying pan on low heat. Place one half of the chocolate bomb, rim side down, onto the pan briefly to slightly melt and smooth the edge. Quickly add about 2 tablespoons of Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix and several marshmallows into the hollow. Repeat the melting process with the other half of the bomb, then press the two halves together evenly to seal them.
  5. Fix Any Holes: If the bombs have any holes or gaps, use cooled melted candy melts to fill and seal them. Alternatively, remelt the candy melts and repeat the sealing step to ensure the bomb stays intact.
  6. Decorate with White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate wafers and drizzle them over the top of the green chocolate bombs. While the white chocolate is still wet, press a heart-shaped decoration onto each bomb so it adheres properly.
  7. Serve: To enjoy, place one hot chocolate bomb in about 3 cups of hot milk and stir until fully melted and combined, creating a rich, festive hot chocolate drink.

Notes

  • Be careful when removing the chocolate shells from the molds to prevent cracking.
  • Use low heat when melting the edges on the pan to avoid melting too much of the chocolate shell.
  • Allow the white chocolate drizzle to set before packaging or serving.
  • These hot chocolate bombs can be stored in a cool, dry place for several days before use.
  • For an extra festive touch, you can add small edible decorations or colored sprinkles over the white chocolate drizzle.
