These easy melt-in-your-mouth silicone mold chocolate bombs are quick to make, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. Featuring a silky chocolate shell with a gooey surprise center, they bring nostalgic comfort and fun to your kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340g) high-quality chocolate chips or bars (preferably couverture or Ghirardelli)
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (35g) mini marshmallows
  • 2 tbsp (15g) crushed candy canes or sprinkles (optional)
  • Silicone chocolate bomb molds
  • Optional fillings: small chocolate chips, caramel bits, or peanut butter dollops

Instructions

  1. Chop 12 oz (340g) of chocolate into small pieces. Melt in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy, or melt gently over a double boiler (approx. 5 minutes).
  2. Using a small spoon or pastry brush, spread a thin, even layer of melted chocolate inside each silicone mold cavity, covering the sides fully without gaps. Rotate the mold to coat all edges evenly.
  3. Place the coated molds on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  4. Apply another thin layer of melted chocolate inside the molds to reinforce the shell. Refrigerate again for 10 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream with 1/4 cup (35g) mini marshmallows and optional crushed candy canes or sprinkles to prepare the filling.
  6. Spoon a small amount of the filling into each chocolate shell, leaving space at the edges for sealing. Add optional mini chocolate chips or caramel bits if desired.
  7. Warm a small plate slightly and use it to melt the edges of the chocolate shells. Quickly press two halves together to form a complete sphere. Hold gently for 10 seconds until sealed.
  8. Place the sealed chocolate bombs back on the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until firm.
  9. Carefully remove the bombs from the silicone molds. They are ready to enjoy or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Temper chocolate gently to maintain a shiny, crisp shell. Use thin layers of chocolate to avoid cracking. Warm sealing surface just enough to melt edges without melting the whole shell. Chill thoroughly to lock shape. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Store in airtight container in fridge up to one week or freeze up to one month.
