Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 packages melting wafers (10 ounce packages)
- 1 1/2 cup hot chocolate mix
- 3 tablespoons espresso powder
- 1/2 cup caramel tidbits
- 2 cups crushed coffee-flavored candy (divided)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Begin by melting your wafers in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds, let them stand for 5 seconds and mix. You may need to microwave an additional 30 seconds and stir until all chunks have melted. If you are using almond bark, be very careful. This can burn or seize up very quickly, check every 10 seconds.
- Use the paintbrush and paint a thick layer of chocolate around the inside of the mold. Make sure every area has been covered, all the way to the top of the mold. Let this firm up and repeat. You need this to be thick enough so it won’t break while you are working with it.
- In a bowl, mix the hot cocoa and espresso powder together.
- When the chocolate is completely dry, carefully remove from the mold. Add one and a half heaping tablespoon of cocoa to the mold, if your mold is large enough, you can add a little more.
- Add some caramel tidbits, crushed coffee candy and mini marshmallows next and you are ready to close up the mold.
- Warm a small glass plate in the microwave till it’s just warm, but not too hot to handle.
- Take the mold that is filled and hold it to the bottom of the plate just till the chocolate melts slightly. Set it down and place an empty top on the top of the plate. Remove as soon as it begins to melt. Place the top on and hold together.
- Using the brush go around the seam to help seal it.
- Heat the leftover chocolate in the microwave for 15 seconds. Using a spoon, drizzle some chocolate over the top. Sprinkle with crushed coffee candy.
- To serve, heat a cup of hot water or milk, place a cocoa bomb in the bottom of a mug and pour hot water or milk over the bomb and watch it melt. Stir to dissolve and serve with your favorite cookies.
