How to Put Your Halloween Milk Chocolate Cocoa Bombs Together 

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.
