Chocolate Bauble

- Carefully remove the chocolate domes from the mould
- Repeat with the remaining chocolate, remelting if necessary
- Place one hemisphere on a round cookie cutter/egg cup/small cup (anything that will help it stand)
- Fill with 1 tbsp hot chocolate powder and a handful of marshmallows
- Heat up a frying pan on low heat and place one hemisphere, edge down, on the pan until just melted
- Line the edges of the two domes up and let set
Chocolate Ring
- Mix the chocolate and glucose/cornsyrup together until the mixture is fully combined and thick
- Set aside for 5 minutes
- Knead the chocolate with your hand and cut out small rings using the tips of round piping nozzles/straws/anything small and circular!

- Once set attach to the bauble with a little melted chocolate
- Optional: spray with airbrush spray to create a Christmas bauble look, tie some string, or simply decorate as you like
