If you don’t know who Mike is, I will tell you a bit about him!
Michael Wazowski also known as Mike, is one of the main characters in Monsters, Inc. and the main character of its prequel Monsters University! He also returned as the main character in the series Monsters at Work. He is a short, lime green round monster with one very large green eye, two small horns on his head, and thin arms and legs! He is a cute little monster and is so funny! Monsters Inc. is a really good movie that my kids love to watch so that is why we decided to make these hot chocolate balls featuring Mike!
Mike From Monsters Inc. Hot Chocolate Balls Recipe
Mike From Monsters Inc. Hot Chocolate Balls
Equipment
- silicone dome mold medium/large 2.5 inch
Ingredients
- 1 Bag light green candy melts ( I used sweet tooth fairy ones)
- 2 Chips blue candy melt chips (for the dot on the eyes)
- 6 tbsp swiss miss hot chocolate mix
- 15 mini marshmallows
- Large Candy Eye Sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt light green candy melts to the package directions in the microwave.
- Add a light green candy melts to the dome mold and spread with the back of a spoon. Do this in one thin layer to coat then place in freezer for 10 minutes. Take it back out and coat only where you can see through the mold. If you cannot see through the mold you do not need to add more. You want the bomb to stay together but not be too thick.
- If you add more to the see-through spots then place them back in the freezer for another 10 minutes. Remove and slowly pop out each side of the bombs. Place on a plate.
- Heat a frying pan to low heat. Place one side of the bomb rim down onto the frying pan. This will lightly melt and even out the edges. Quickly add about 2 tablespoons cocoa mix to the bomb and marshmallows. Melt the other side of the bomb's rim and then place even with the other side.
- This will seal them together evenly. Do not add hot chocolate to the outside as it will just melt the bomb.
- Dip a brush in candy melts and place a little on the back of the eye sprinkle. Place in the center of the top of the bomb. This will dry and stick. Microwave the blue candy melts. With a brush place a dot in the center of the eye.
- Let dry and serve in a cup and pour over hot milk to dissolve the bomb and stir well.
