Hot cocoa bombs make fantastic gifts. All you need are some silicone molds in the shape of a sphere, melted chocolate, hot chocolate powder, marshmallows, a refrigerator and a lot of patience!
Last fall, I had an order for 50 hot cocoa bombs. Do the math really fast…that’s 100 spheres. I enlisted my husband to help me paint the chocolate into the molds. I thought to myself…he is an artistic person. It shouldn’t be hard for him. And we were off…
He started painting melted chocolate into the first sphere, and I remember thinking… he is doing a great job! Until he wasn’t. He kept fiddling with the chocolate and repeatedly re-painting it into the mold, creating holes. He kept stretching his neck and breathing heavily… my helper was quickly fading.
Before long, he gave in, and I let him go. I wound up painting all 100 spheres, making a few extra. He did help me package them up a few days later, and I was thankful for the help!
