Preparation: Collect all the ingredients, tools, and moulds needed for the recipe. Measure the ingredients precisely. 

Make Hot Chocolate Mix: You can start by making the hot chocolate mix. All you need to do is to collect cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon powder, and salt in a bowl. Give it a stir and keep it aside. 

Method For Chocolate Balls

Melt Chocolate: Take dark, milk, and white chocolate separately in three bowls. Melt them in the microwave in 20-30 second blasts. Remember to stir in between to avoid the burning of chocolate. 

Make Shells: Pour the melted chocolate into a half-sphere-shaped silicone mould. Fill two cavities of the same chocolate so you will have two half shells of each type of chocolate- dark, milk, and white. 

Give Shape: Spread the chocolate in the cavity using a Pastry brush. Turn the mould upside down to remove any excess chocolate. 

Set the Shells: Let the chocolate shells set at room temperature. You can place it in the refrigerator as well. 

De-mould: Carefully remove the shells from the mould once the chocolate has been set. 

Method For Assembly

Smooth Out Edges: Heat a metal Scraper and smoothen out the edges of the shells. This will make the joining of shells into balls easy. 

Add chocolate mix: Now add two spoons of hot chocolate mix in one shell. 

Add Marshmallow: In the same, she’ll add marshmallows as well. 

Make Ball: Use a heated metal Scraper to melt the edges and then cover the shell with the other half to make a ball. Ensure to seal the edges together nicely. 

Garnish: Decorate the bombs by drizzling melted chocolate and some edible glitter.

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Tip for Shells

Do not make the shells too thin or too thick. If the spell is thin, it will break during de-moulding. If the shell is thick, the bomb won’t melt properly in the milk. 

Sealing the Shells Together

The edges of the shells will be uneven when de-moulded. They must be even out so they can be joined to make the ball. Simply heat a metal scraper and glide it through the edges. 

How To Store Hot Chocolate Bombs

Assembled bombs must be stored in an airtight box in the refrigerator. It can be used for up to a month. Extend the shelf life by storing it in the freezer for two months.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Which chocolate is best for hot chocolate bombs?

Dark or milk compound chocolate is more accessible and easier to use. If you want, you can definitely temper couverture chocolate and make shells using that. 

Can I use Dutch cocoa powder in place of natural? 

Although, I would recommend using natural cocoa powder only. However, you may use Dutch cocoa powder if you like your hot chocolate more intense and dark in chocolate flavour. 

Can I make shells/bombs and store them? 

Yes, you can make chocolate shells or even the complete bombs beforehand and store them in an airtight box in a cool place. If the room temperature is hotter than 22C, then refrigerate them in an airtight container. 

Is there anything else we can add inside the bombs? 

You may use any other confectionery you like in your hot chocolate. You can add some chocolate sprinkles or Maltese if you want.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
