Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz high-quality white chocolate melting wafers or chopped white chocolate
- 6 tablespoons pumpkin spice hot cocoa mix
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- Orange oil-based food coloring (optional)
- 1/4 cup orange candy melts (for decoration)
- 6 cups whole milk (for serving)
Instructions
- Place your white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each session until the chocolate is completely smooth and glossy. If you want orange shells, add a few drops of orange oil-based food coloring now. Ensure you do not use water-based coloring, as it will cause the chocolate to seize.
- Place a clean semi-sphere silicone mold on a baking sheet. Spoon about one tablespoon of melted chocolate into each cavity. Use the back of the spoon or a clean pastry brush to coat the sides of the mold evenly, ensuring the edges are slightly thicker to prevent breakage. Place the mold in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes until completely set.
- Remove the molds from the freezer. Apply a second thin coat of chocolate to any spots that look translucent, focusing specifically on the top edges. This reinforcement ensures the bombs don’t crack when you remove them. Return to the freezer for another 5 minutes.
- Gently peel the silicone mold away from the chocolate spheres and place them on a cold plate. Fill six of the halves with one tablespoon of pumpkin spice cocoa mix, a pinch of pumpkin pie spice, and a handful of mini marshmallows. Do not overfill, or the spheres won’t close properly.
- Heat a small plate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Take an empty chocolate half and press the rim against the warm plate for a second to melt the edge. Immediately press it onto a filled half to create a complete sphere. Hold for a few seconds to let the chocolate bond. Use a clean finger to smooth out any excess chocolate around the seam.
- Drizzle melted orange candy melts over the top of the bombs and sprinkle with a dash of pumpkin pie spice or edible glitter. To serve, place one bomb in a large mug. Pour 1 cup of steaming hot milk directly over the center of the bomb. Watch it melt, stir well, and enjoy the creamy pumpkin goodness.
