Preparation Steps

  • Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium sized, microwave safe bowl, heat the green candy melts for 30-45 seconds and then remove and stir well.
  • Continue heating in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well in between, until the candy is completely melted and smooth. Do not overheat.
  • Place 1 heaping Tablespoon of the green liquid in each circle of 2 (6 count) 3 inch diameter, semi sphere silicone molds. You will have some remaining in the bowl, set it aside for now, it will be used again later.
  • Swirl each mold to spread the candy melts evenly, using a spoon if necessary to spread it onto the sides of the sphere, and then turn the mold upside down quickly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place the molds in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or until completely hardened.
  • Once the spheres have completely set, remove the molds from the refrigerator and gently remove the green semi spheres.
  • Fill half of the spheres (6 halves) with 2 Tablespoons of white hot chocolate, 1 Tablespoon of crushed candy cane, 1 Tablespoon of mini marshmallows and 0.5 teaspoon of heart sprinkles.
  • Reheat the green candy melts for 30-45 seconds and stir well. Heat longer, if necessary, until the liquid is melted and smooth again.
  • Take a sphere that has nothing in it and dip it into the melts. Gently swirl it and then place it on top of one of the filled spheres.
  • Gently wipe off any excess or bulging green liquid and gently fill any holes, if necessary.
  • Repeat with each empty sphere until you have 6 filled bombs. Place them back in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to set.
  • Heat the white candy melts in a small, microwave safe bowl, for 30-45 seconds in the microwave and then stir them well.
  • Heat again in 15-20 second increments, stirring after each heating, until they are completely melted and liquid.
  • Drizzle the melted white candy over the bombs and then decorate with additional sprinkles or candy canes, optional.
  • To serve, place in a large mug and pour in 1.25 cup of steaming hot milk. Stir well and enjoy!
