To melt the sphere edges, you can either use heated plates, or a lightly heated frying pan. I have used both, and both are equally effective. It’s important to try to limit how much you handle your hot chocolate bombs. Chocolate melts so easily in the heat of your hands, so the more you touch it the more of a chance of fingerprints, smudges, or even breaking! Try using some food-safe gloves and be sure to only grab your hot chocolate bombs when you need to. To temper your chocolate, give about ¾ of the dark chocolate a rough chop, and place it in a glass bowl and microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Once it begins to look melted with a few chunks of chocolate left, insert your candy thermometer into the chocolate. You want your dark chocolate to be no higher than 90℉, or the chocolate will be untempered, and will have a chalky appearance with possible streaks of white. Once you reach your desired temperature, continue stirring until all chocolate is smooth and creamy with no lumps. Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring frequently to avoid scorching at the bottom of the pan.

Follow the biscuit to filling ratio in the ingredient list very carefully! Add four whole biscuits and the Oreo hot chocolate will be gloopy but miss out the extra bit of filling and the balance of sweetness won’t be quite right. Once set, remove from the refrigerator, and begin slowly pulling the mold away from the spheres on the sides first, and then lightly push from the bottom to remove them. You can either place them on the serving tray/cookie sheet, or I placed them on a piece of parchment paper for the next steps. Try to handle them as little as possible to avoid fingerprints, or melting. (To reduce fingerprint smudges, wear food safe gloves) After multiple trials, I came up with a recipe that tastes very similar to Dunkin Donuts. It is super easy to make, uses only 4 ingredients, and comes together in under 10 minutes.
