Snow Globe/Glass Dome Hot Cocoa Bombs

I recently purchased one of those kits you can buy to make your own hot cocoa bombs and also recently saw a Japanese You Tuber pastry chef demonstrate how to make clear sugar domes…so I decided to put the two things together and it worked so well, I just had to share!

So here’s what you’ll need:
Isomalt Sugar
chocolate chips
2 inch silicone molds
a small silicone brush
fillings for your bombs like candy canes and miniature marshmallows

Melt your isolmalt sugar in a pan-be careful not to burn yourself on this stuff-it holds heat! Pour a small amount into each mold-about 1/3 full. Spread around, especially up to the edges. Once they are all well coated, pop the molds into the freezer for a few minutes. Remove from the freezer and “peel” away the mold to remove each 1/2 globe. Set aside. Melt your chocolate and do the same thing-coat each mold, pop in the freezer. Once you have all of your glass 1/2 domes and your chocolate 1/2 domes, fill them with your choice of goodies-candy canes, mini marshmallows, etc.. Then “glue” the 1/2 domes together with frosting, then carefully dip the edges into some sprinkles to cover the seams.

It’s fun to watch the dome sink into your hot cocoa! They melt really fast!

Enjoy!
