# How To Make It:

01 - Melt chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
02 - Use a pastry brush or spoon to coat silicone half-sphere molds with melted chocolate. Chill in refrigerator for 10 minutes, then apply a second coating and chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
03 - Remove chocolate shells carefully from molds. Fill half of the shells with 1 tablespoon hot cocoa mix and 2 mini marshmallows each.
04 - Warm a microwave-safe plate and gently press the edge of an empty shell onto it to slightly melt the rim. Place this shell atop a filled one, sealing the edges by smoothing with a finger or melted chocolate. Repeat for all bombs.
05 - Arrange hot cocoa bombs on a tray and set out bowls containing each topping.
06 - Heat milk until steaming but not boiling. Place a cocoa bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it. Stir gently as the bomb melts, then add desired toppings.
