📝 Preparation Steps
1
Chocolate Shells
2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 ounces of chocolate at 50% power in ⏱️ 20 second increments. Stirring each time until melted and smooth.
3
Coat the cavities of the mold one at time. Put a spoonful of melted chocolate in each cavity and swirl it around to coat the outside. If it’s thin, add additional chocolate then refrigerate for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes. (note this could take longer depending on thickness). Melt additional chocolate if needed.
4
Boil about ¾ cups of water either on the stovetop or in the microwave. Place a plate overtop of the measuring cup to warm the plate.
5
Remove the chocolate shells from the mold. Press the one shell on your heated plate briefly to heat the edges. Quickly flip over the shell and place it in the cupcake wrapper.
6
Fill the shell with 1 tablespoon of Hot Chocolate mix and a couple of mini marshmallows. Do not over stuff.
Mini Marshmallows
7
Repeat step 4 and gently press the two shells together, being careful not to press too hard so you don’t crack your bottom shell. Refrigerate for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes to set.

To decorate:

Melt 2 ounces of chocolate in the microwave as indicated above.
10
Unicorn Horn
11
Separate the unicorn horn from the sprinkle mix. Dip a unicorn horn in melted chocolate and position on the top center of the head.
12
Unicorn Ears
13
Using a sharp knife, cut a chocolate chip in half to form 2 ears. Drop a little bit of melted white chocolate on the bottom of the chocolate chip and attach ears on either side of the horn.
14
Sprinkle Mane
15
To make the sprinkle mane, dip a toothpick in white chocolate and paint a triangle pointing down on the unicorn head. Immediately cover with sprinkles. Repeat on the backside of the head.
16
For the eyes
17
Mix approximately 2 teaspoons of melted white chocolate with tiny drop black food coloring and blend until well combined. To add small amounts of the black gel, I recommend putting a drop on your plate and then mixing it in with a toothpick. To draw the eyes, use a toothpick.
18
Allow the hot chocolate bombs to sit until all the melted chocolate has set. Serve or package as a gift.
