If you want to make your own, this super-cute book gives you clear, step-by-step instruction for great results – preparing moulds, filling and assembling your bombs, as well as decorating ideas, like drizzles and sprinkles. Once you've mastered making them, try out the delicious flavours suggested which include Cappuccino, Coconut Cream Pie, Peanut Butter Cup, Spiced Chai, Dulce de Leche, Peppermint Bark, Chocolate Orange, Raspberry Pavlova and more! Or why not try out your own flavour combinations – whatever floats your marshmallow!
