ST. Paddy's Day Hot Cocoa Bomb
     My girl's and I came up with the idea for Hot Cocoa Bombs in 2014.  I really wish I had thought of them years ago because they are a great way to celebrate special days and holidays.  When my kids were little, in order to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I would put a drop of food coloring in their milk to turn it green.  They loved that, but a green Hot Cocoa Bomb would have been so much better!  
     If you still have young kids at home, I'm here to help you be a more fun mom than I was.  How about Pistachio or Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bombs for St. Patrick's Day?  Of course, we have already been making Peppermint Cocoa Bombs since Day 1.  I mean, I think we came up with the original bomb and then immediately thought to make Peppermint ones as well.  
     But, Pistachio?  That is awesome, right?  (Do you say "pist-ahh-chio"  or "pist-a-chio, with a short "a" sound?")   To get the flavor, I made the Pistachio Bomb shells with white chocolate.  I used pistachio instant pudding to flavor them.  I sifted out the bits of pistachio nuts that are in the pudding because I thought no one would like those in their mug.  Was I wrong?  Use quite a bit in your shell because the white chocolate flavor can over power the subtle flavor of the pistachio.  I used the colorful, fruity flavored Kraft Marshmallows and picked out the green ones to use in these bombs.  Then, of course, I used cute St. Patrick's Day sprinkles to decorate them.  I used a few gold balls to represent the gold at the end of the rainbow.

I made the Peppermint Bombs in semi-sweet chocolate and used multi green colored jimmies.
