Pour several cups of hot milk over the chocolate bomb in a pitcher, mix well, then pour into espresso cups! That way the chocolate is more diluted and you are drinking a smaller amount. Make the cookie lids to fit the smaller cups as well. I might just have to do this over the Christmas break!❤

I personally feel like you could fill the silicone mold coat them and dumped out the excess. I feel like would have been less of a hassle and you would have extra for decorating. You can melt a large quantity of chocolate chips in the microwave and add not melted to chips to that and voila you have "tempered" chocolate( they won't melt that way). That is a pro tip for you friend.

I swear to god it never works when I do that tho 😅

For the chocolate bombs, if u temper the chocolate you would need less.

Peppermint candy spoons can be bought at stores as well, I'm also questioning why the chocolate bomb recipe recommended chocolate chips, chocolate chips have a ingredient in them that stops them from losing shape when heated, and also stops them from solidifying if they are melted. Normally hot chocolate is made with mixing a melted chocolate bar with boiling milk, while hot cocoa is made with boiling water and cocoa powder
