Servings bombs

Start by melting 10 oz of green candy melts at 30 second intervals in the microwave. Stir between each heating and continue heating until smooth.
Fill each cavity in the hot cocoa mold with melted green candys, use the back of a spoon to press into the mold. Allow to set.
Add another layer of melted green candys in each cavity, make the top edge of each a thick edge. Allow to set.
Carefully remove each half rom the molds.
Use a warm frying pan to melt the ridge of one half at a time.
Fill that half quickly with hot cocoa mix and marshmallows.
Then, take another half and place it in the warm frying pan to melt the ridge.
Quickly place that second half on top of the filled half to seal them shut. Gently press on the sides and wipe up any melted excess.
Finish all the bombs in this manner.
To decorate: Take remaining melted green candy mix and place in piping bag or ziploc bag with corner snipped off. Drizzle over the tops of the bombs and sprinkle with red candy hearts.
To Enjoy: place bomb in mug. Heat 8 - 12 oz of milk or water and pour on top of the bomb.

Tips + Substitutions

Use any size hot cocoa bomb mold you prefer.
Any flavor of cocoa mix (or your own homemade) works.
Skip the dehydrated marshmallows and just toss fresh marshmallows in your mug.
Use 8 - 12 oz of hot water or milk poured into a mug on top of the bomb when ready to use them.
Make sure to melt candy melts in 30 second intervals, stirring in between.
Work quickly so that the candy melts don't start to harden before they are in the molds, or the halves are pressed together.
