Gingerbread House Hot Cocoa Bombs

These hot chocolate bombs are a fun addition to a hot cocoa bar and make such a great gift too.
Step by step with images here. Printable recipe card below.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups White Candy Melts
- 2 cups Hot Chocolate Mix
- 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
- ⅓ cup Cocoa Powder
Instructions:
Making the White Chocolate Houses:
Place white candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package.
Place 2 tbsp melted candy melt into one of the gingerbread house molds and, using the bottom of your tablespoon measuring spoon, press the chocolate up the sides of the mold, keeping it thick but even.
Repeat with all of the molds.
Gently remove the chocolate houses from the mold.
Making the “lids” for the white chocolate houses:
On a baking sheet, lined with a non-stick silicone baking sheet or parchment paper, draw a small square or circle of chocolate with a decorating bag and small piping tip, large enough to serve as a bottom for the gingerbread houses.
As you can see, it doesn’t have to be perfect at all. You just need a roughly square/circular shape that can cover the opening.
Repeat drawing 6 squares.
Working with the first square of chocolate you made, fill it in with a solid filling of chocolate, making it about ¼ inch thick and as flat as you can possibly make it.
Removing the chocolate form the molds and filling them:
Place the chocolate filled molds and baking sheet into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Remove molds from the freezer and gently slide the chocolate out of the mold.
Fill the molds with 2 tbsp hot chocolate mix and 10-15 mini marshmallows.
Press one of the chocolate squares onto the bottom of a house, then using the chocolate in your decorating bag with the small piping tip, form a join line between the chocolate square and the house, joining the two pieces.
Using a sifter, dust the cocoa powder over the assembled hot cocoa bombs.
Place the hot cocoa bombs into the freezer for 5 minutes to get them to set, then remove and store in an airtight container until you’re ready to use.
