Ingredients
  

For The Chocolate Banana Ganache

  • 1 ½ cups Semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup Heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup Creme De Banana Liquor

For The Hot Cocoa Bombs

  • 1 - 30 oz Bag of Ghirardelli White Chocolate melting wafers
  • 2 cups of hot cocoa mix
  • 1 cup mini 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!
