Imagine your favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream transformed into a warm, comforting hot cocoa bomb. This Mint Chocolate Chip Marvel is your go-to treat when you're craving that classic ice cream flavor during the chillier months. With a dark chocolate shell that melts to release a flurry of mint-infused chocolate goodness and playful mini chocolate chips, this delightful drink captures all the nostalgic flavors in a cozy, mug-sized package. It's a winter warm-up with a refreshing twist!
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
Spoon melted chocolate into half-sphere silicone molds and use the back of your spoon to spread it evenly along the sides of each mold. You want an even coating on all sides to form a sturdy shell. Refrigerate until set, about 5-10 minutes.
Once the chocolate shells are firm, carefully remove them from the molds.
Fill half of the shells with a generous tablespoon of mint-flavored hot cocoa mix and a few mini chocolate chips. Add a drop of peppermint extract for extra minty flavor.
Heat a pan on low. Take an empty chocolate shell, rim side down, on the pan for a few seconds until it slightly melts. Quickly adhere this melted edge to a filled shell to seal the bomb together.
Repeat with remaining shells until all hot cocoa bombs are assembled.
If desired, you can decorate the completed cocoa bombs with melted chocolate drizzle and sprinkles or crushed candy cane.
To serve, place a cocoa bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it, watching as it magically bursts open and stirs into a delicious minty hot chocolate.
