# Cooking Steps:

01 - Melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
02 - Use a pastry brush or spoon to coat silicone half-sphere molds with melted chocolate. Refrigerate for 10 minutes, then apply a second coat for durability. Chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
03 - Carefully remove chocolate shells 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. Gently press the edge of an empty shell on the warm plate to melt the rim slightly, then place it on top of a filled shell to seal. Smooth the seam with your finger or melted chocolate. Repeat for all bombs.
05 - Arrange the cocoa bombs on a tray and set out bowls with each topping for an interactive experience.
06 - Heat milk until steaming but not boiling. Place a cocoa bomb in a mug, pour hot milk over it, allowing it to open. Stir and add desired toppings.
