Melt the chocolate candy coating according to the package directions.

Fill each of the wells with 1-2 tablespoons of melted chocolate. Spread the chocolate around using a spoon or small offset spatula. Don’t forget to spread the chocolate all the way to the top-- you want to have a thick edge so your chocolate bomb doesn’t break.

Carefully remove the chocolate wells from the mold.
