1 - 30ozBag of Ghirardelli White Chocolate melting wafers
2cupsof hot cocoa mix
1cupmini marshmallows
Valentine's Day Sprinkles
Dove Chocolate Hearts
Instructions
For The Chocolate Banana Ganache
Using a small pot, heat the heavy whipping cream and Creme de banana until it starts to simmer, about 4 minutes (do not boil)
Pour the chocolate chips into a bowl and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips
Allow to sit for 1 minute before whisking until smooth
Place into the fridge for about 3 hours to harden
Using a small ice cream scooper, scoop out some ganache and mold into a ball
Place the balls onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet and back into the fridge while you make the cocoa bombs
For The Hot Cocoa Bombs
Place ½ cup of the white chocolate into a bowl and set aside for later
Using a heat safe bowl, pour the remaining white chocolate into the bowl and place in the microwave for 30 second intervals. Make sure to stir the chocolate after each 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth
Using a spoon, spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the chocolate into the mold and carefully swirl the chocolate to completely coat the inside of the mold
Lightly shake the extra chocolate back into the bowl
Place the coated molds into the fridge for 5-10 minutes
Remove from the fridge and gently peel the silicone mold back away from the hardened chocolate shell
Carefully place the mold onto the cookie sheet
Repeat steps with remaining molds
You should now have 8 half sphere molds
Place the bowl of chocolate you set aside, into the microwave and melt using 30 second increments. Scoop the melted chocolate into the piping bag
Building the hot cocoa bomb:
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the hot cocoa mix into the bottom of half of a chocolate bomb and then place a chocolate banana ganache ball into the center
Place about 5-8 mini marshmallows around the ganache ball
Place the top of the shell back onto the warm warm plate to melt the edges for a few seconds and then quickly place the melted edges onto the filled shell and gently press down (so you now have a hot cocoa bomb)
Cut the tip off the piping bag and drizzle melting chocolate over the top of the cocoa bombs
Sprinkle the Valentine’s Day sprinkles over the cocoa bomb and place a dove chocolate heart into the center
Allow to set before enjoying in a 8oz glass of steaming milk!
