# Step-by-Step Guide:

03 - Carefully unmold the chocolate shells. Fill one half of each shell with 1 tablespoon of cocoa mix, a portion of mini marshmallows, and a sprinkle of dried cherry pieces.
04 - Briefly warm the rim of the second chocolate half, align with the filled half, and press together to seal. Chill assembled spheres if needed for stability.
