This peppermint-infused cocoa bomb is your perfect companion for those cozy winter nights. With a rich, dark chocolate shell that erupts into a smooth, minty cocoa delight, you'll love every warm sip as the chill melts away. Fresh peppermint and festive candy cane crunch make it a treat not just for taste but for the holiday spirit too!
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
Using a small spoon, spread the melted chocolate evenly over silicone sphere molds to form shells. Place in the refrigerator to set for 10 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and a few drops of peppermint extract. Mix well.
Fill half of each chocolate shell with the cocoa mixture, a few mini marshmallows, and a sprinkle of crushed candy canes.
Carefully reheat the edges of the remaining chocolate shells and press them onto the filled halves to seal the cocoa bomb.
Place the completed cocoa bombs back in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to ensure they are fully set.
When ready to enjoy, place a cocoa bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it. Stir and watch it burst into a creamy peppermint hot chocolate!
