Begin by melting the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 15 seconds, and repeat until the chocolate is all melted and smooth.

Pour about a tablespoon of melted chocolate onto your spherical molds and evenly distribute it around the mold using the back of a spoon.

Add the filled mold into the freezer for 7 minutes for the chocolate to harden. After 7 minutes, slowly remove the hardened spheres and place them onto a baking sheet.

Into half of the chocolate spheres, add a tablespoon of hot chocolate mix and 2 tablespoons of marshmallows (You can definitely add more, just be sure that the sphere does not overflow!)

Add a microwave-safe plate into a microwave and heat it just until the plate is warm to touch. Take the other half of the chocolate spheres that are unfilled and melt the edges using the warm plate. Seal the sphere with the melted edges to the other half to create the chocolate bomb.

Finally, the final step is to decorate! This step is optional but highly recommended to add that personal touch. You can decorate with melted white chocolate, sprinkles, cookie crumbs, or anything you like.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of vegetable oils, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until smooth. Add 2 eggs and mix.

In the same bowl, add 4 ½ cups of flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Give it one more mix, and plop it into the fridge for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.

After 1 hour, roll the dough into circles or cut it into any shape of choice and place onto a baking sheet. Bake the dough for 8-10 minutes.

Let the cookies cool and decorate with any icing or toppings of your choice!

In a mixing bowl, beat your butter (2/3 cup, room temperature) for 1 minute until smooth and creamy.

Add 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 2/3 cup of molasses and beat on medium-high speed until it’s all mixed and creamy-looking. Then, beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract on high speed for 2 minutes.

Set that aside and in a separate bowl, combine together 3 and 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon allspice, and ½ teaspoon of cloves together.

Change the speed to low and slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.

The cookie dough will be thick and somewhat sticky. Divide the dough in half and place each onto a large piece of plastic wrap, wrapped tightly, and pat down, creating a disc shape. Chill the discs for 3 hours (or preferably overnight). ‌

Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Flour a surface, as well as your hands and the rolling pin. Remove the cookie discs from the refrigerator. Roll out disc until ¼ inch thick and use shape cutters to shape them into little gingerbread men! Place the cookies on the baking sheets and bake for about 9-10 minutes!

You may add sugar icing to spice things up a bit and decorate the cookies. Alas, let these delicious treats cool down a bit before you eat and forget to share them with the family!
