g Chocolate Use good quality semi sweet chocolate eg. Callebaut Milk Chocolate (callets) +extra 5% (7.5 g) for tempering Heat a plate in the microwave for around 1 minute.

For Callebaut Milk Chocolate (callets), melt chocolate to 45C / 113F in microwave stirring every 30 seconds, then bring temperature down to 29-30C / 84-86F by adding the chocolate challets (that is tempering). Use a thermometer to measure exact temp, eg. Infrared thermometer gun Use a different kind of chocolate to decorate your bombs. For instance, if you made your bombs with milk or dark chocolate shells, decorate the top with a white chocolate drizzle.
