# How to Make It:

01 - Melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
02 - Brush melted chocolate onto silicone half-sphere molds. Refrigerate for 10 minutes, then brush a second layer. Chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
03 - Remove chocolate shells gently from molds. Fill half of the shells with 1 tablespoon hot cocoa mix and 2 mini marshmallows each.
04 - Warm a plate in the microwave. Slightly melt the rim of an empty shell by pressing it onto the plate, then place it over a filled shell to seal. Smooth the seam with a finger or melted chocolate. Repeat.
05 - Place completed cocoa bombs on a tray and arrange bowls of diverse toppings alongside.
06 - Heat milk until steaming but not boiling. Place a cocoa bomb in a mug, pour hot milk over it to melt the bomb, stir, and top with desired toppings.
