1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions
Melt white chocolate chips with vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Spoon the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
Pipe snowman shapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Melt milk chocolate chips with butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Mix powdered sugar and cocoa powder in a small bowl.
Combine the milk chocolate mixture with the powdered sugar and cocoa powder mixture.
Fill half of the snowman shapes with the chocolate-cocoa mixture.
Add a few mini marshmallows and sprinkles to each filled snowman half.
Pipe a little more of the white chocolate mixture on top of the marshmallows and sprinkles.
Top with the remaining snowman shapes, pressing gently to seal.

To use, place one hot cocoa bomb in a mug and pour 8 ounces of hot milk over it. Stir until melted and enjoy.
Notes
Ensure your piping bag has a small opening for detailed snowman features.
Do not overheat the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
You can add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper to the cocoa mixture for a spiced flavor.
Decorate the snowmen with edible markers or extra melted chocolate for added details.
