How do you make Halloween chocolate bombs?
Gather your supplies and ingredients:
Place a large plate into the freezer.
Pour the orange candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring well after each heat session, until the candy is fully melted.
Add a small spoonful of melted chocolate to all of the hot chocolate bomb molds.
Then coat the melted candy up the sides of the mold to the top edges with the back of a spoon.
Place candy coated molds into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Add a second coat of melted candy to the chocolate molds and place back into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Remove the chilled plate and chocolate half-spheres from the freezer. Carefully remove each of the chocolate spheres from the mold and place onto the chilled plate.
Heat the small plate in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Put edge of the bomb upside down on the warm plate to slightly melt the candy coated edge.
Fill it with 1 tablespoon hot chocolate powder and a few surprise marshmallows.
Repeat step with the microwaved plate with another chocolate shell and adhere the two candy shells together. The melted candy should fuse them together nicely, but if not, just use your finger to add a little melted candy around the seam.
Add the black candy to a small baggie, then heat for 30 seconds. Massage the bag a bit, then snip off the end of the baggie and drizzle a little bit of black candy over each of the Halloween chocolate bombs.
Add Halloween sprinkles.
Allow the filled hot chocolate bombs to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
To use, place a hot chocolate bomb in a mug, pour hot water or warm milk over it, and watch as it melts and releases the cocoa mix and marshmallows into your cup.

Notes
How to Store Your Cocoa Bomb Set
To store your Halloween Hot Cocoa Bombs, place them in a plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature in a dry place.
You can also wrap the bombs up inside of foil or put each bomb into its own individual paper cup and then tie it with string if you plan on giving these as gifts!
Or place them in a freezer safe container and add the lid. These little treats will last for up to three months when stored properly!
