Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa Bombs

      Halloween is over and the Ugly Sweater Express is just a month away, so Hot Cocoa Bomb making and then decorating is in high gear.  I have been saving the decorating until the last week before the event, so sorry the bombs are all so plain looking.  Here is a picture of how I tell them apart:

    I put a little button on the bottom (a chip the flavor of the bomb) to remind me.  I also put each flavor in a separate labeled container.  The picture is showing a new flavor we are introducing this year, Peanut Butter Bombs!  Who doesn't love that peanut butter chocolate flavor together?  These are really very good.

     We have a  tutorial that teaches how to make the Cocoa Bombs, but people still ask me how we manage to get the marshmallows and everything in there.  So, I thought today I would teach you my Cocoa Bomber magic I was making the Peanut Butter Flavor, which has more ingredients than some of the other flavors, so this is the perfect batch to show you.  Click on the pictures!

Start by melting your chocolate and creating your shells. You can look at the original tutorial for that.

When the shells are hardened, pop them our then place them back into the mold. Put about 8 peanut butter chips in the bottom of the mold.

On top of the chips, put in the mini marshmallows. I usually get 5 in, sometimes 6.

Next I use this tiny baby spoon to carefully scoop in some peanut butter powder.

Finally, scoop on the Nesquik. Be sure to cover everything and tap it down. This will keep the marshmallows from sticking to the chocolate and not popping to the top of the cup.

Top with a layer of melted chocolate.

      Melting and tempering the chocolate is probably something I should blog about in the future.  I forgot to take a picture of the Peanut Butter Powder.  But you can find a couple of posts about it here and here.  When you are finished adding all of the ingredients and the chocolate, don't forget the button.

    Next, pop them in the freezer to harden.  Of course, I always have to sample the batch for quality control.
