What do I need to make M&M Heart Hot Cocoa Bombs?

You will also need:

A swirl heart mold (I used: https://www.etsy.com/listing/645179025/type-2-6-cavities-hearts-silicone-soap?) 

You will need a microwave-safe mug or bowl, parchment paper, measuring cups and spoons, swirl heart molds.

How to make these hot cocoa bombs

Melt 2 tbsp of pink candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, per the directions on the package.

Fill each swirl mold cavity with pink melted chocolate.

Place molds into the freezer for 5 minutes to allow the pink candy melts to set.

Once the pink candy melts are set, remove mold from the freezer.

Place two cups of chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Place in the microwave and melt per the package instructions.

Add about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate candy into the cavity of the bomb mold.

Press the chocolate thickly using the bottom of the measuring spoon against the sides of the mold

Repeat with 6 bomb mold halves.

Place bomb molds filled with chocolate in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Remove them from the freezer and gently pull the mold away from the chocolate.

Place about ½ tbsp melted chocolate in the mold and spread this on all the heart shapes. This is the bottom section of your heart bombs.

Place your chocolate-filled bomb molds into the freezer for 5 minutes.

Remove molds from the freezer and gently pull the mold away from the cap for the hearts.

Fill the chocolate cups with 1 tbsp hot chocolate mix, 1 tbsp M&M candies, and 5-6 mini marshmallows.

When all of the heart shapes are iced, pour chocolate melted candy into a piping bag and pipe along one edge of each heart.

Add a heart cap to the top of one of the filled cups. This will close the hot cocoa bomb.

Place the hot cocoa bombs into the freezer for 5 minutes to get them to set, then remove.

Place a small dab of pink candy melts on the tip of the swirl and immediately place an M&M candy on top.

Place the hot cocoa bombs into a freezer for 5 minutes.
