How do you store cocoa bombs to keep them fresh?
You need to keep them stored in an airtight container. Keep the air out to keep them as fresh as possible. They don’t have to be stored in the fridge, so storing them at room temperature is fine.

Ingredients
- Candy melts (1/4 cup brown, handful of white, pink and red)
- Hot cocoa mix
- Mini marshmallows
Instructions
Melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to the directions on the package. Stir until smooth.
Spoon the mixture into the mold and make sure that the chocolate covers the entire area, even up the sides.
Put in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm.
Take the molds out once they're hard and take them out of the molds.
Add in 2 T cocoa mix and the marshmallows.
Pipe some of the melted chocolate along the edge of the bomb and then place the other half of the cocoa bomb on top. This will complete the circle. Let it harden to hold in place.
Use the pink and white candy melts to make the face. Melt them as you did the other, add to a piping bag, and decorate!
Pipe a pink heart for the mouth, and the rest you can use the white for the eyes or change it up and have fun!
