📝 Preparation Steps
1
Line a baking sheet or 12-cup muffin tin with 12 regular-size paper muffin liners.
2
Fill the bottom of a medium saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Place the chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a dry, heatproof glass or ceramic bowl that is slightly larger than the saucepan. The bowl should sit on top of the pan without its bottom touching the water.
3
Reduce the heat to low. Place the bowl of chocolate over the saucepan of water. Heat the chocolate, stirring occasionally with a dry rubber spatula, until chocolate is mostly smooth and melted, 6 to ⏱️ 8 minutes. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and continue stirring until the residual heat melts the remaining chocolate and mixture is smooth (return bowl to saucepan, if needed).
4
Spoon about 2 teaspoons of chocolate into the bottom of each regular muffin cup. Pick up each up and rotate in a circular motion so that the chocolate comes 1/2-inch up the sides of each cup. Let sit for ⏱️ 15 minutes to harden slightly.
5
Add 2 teaspoons of hot chocolate mix into each cup. Drizzle chocolate on top of the cocoa mixture, to cover it completely.
6
While the chocolate is still melted, gently press a large marshmallow into the top of each hot chocolate bomb. Decorate with sprinkles or crushed candy canes. Let rest at room temperature until the chocolate is set, about ⏱️ 1 hour.
7
To serve: Heat the milk in a small pot on the stovetop over medium heat, until steaming, then transfer to a mug. (Alternatively, microwave on high for about ⏱️ 90 seconds.) Carefully slide a hot chocolate bomb into the mug. Let sit for ⏱️ 30 seconds, then stir well to combine.
