Description
Hot chocolate bombs are a fun and visually appealing way to make hot chocolate. They are spheres of chocolate filled with hot cocoa mix and marshmallows that melt in hot milk to create a rich and creamy drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz chocolate, chopped (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- 2–4 tablespoons hot cocoa mix
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- Optional: Sprinkles, peppermint chips, caramel bits
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each.
- Pour the melted chocolate into silicone sphere molds, coating the sides evenly.
- Let the chocolate set slightly, then add another layer if needed for thickness.
- Chill the molds in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes until firm.
- Gently remove the chocolate spheres from the molds.
- Fill half of the spheres with hot cocoa mix and marshmallows.
- Warm the rim of the empty chocolate spheres by placing them on a warm plate for a few seconds.
- Attach the warmed rim of an empty sphere to a filled sphere to create a complete bomb.
- Decorate with additional chocolate or sprinkles if desired.
- To serve, place one hot chocolate bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it. Stir until melted and enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure your chocolate is fully melted and smooth for best results.
- Do not overheat the chocolate, as it can seize.
- Work quickly when filling and sealing the bombs to prevent them from melting.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate and fillings for various flavors.
