Description
Hot Chocolate Bombs are chocolate spheres filled with hot cocoa mix and marshmallows that burst open when hot milk is poured over them, creating a rich and fun hot chocolate experience.
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 6 tablespoons hot cocoa mix
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Optional: crushed peppermint, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips for garnish
- Hot milk, for serving
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Using a spoon or pastry brush, coat the inside of silicone half-sphere molds with melted chocolate. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer until set.
- Apply a second layer of chocolate to ensure sturdiness and chill again until completely firm.
- Carefully remove the chocolate shells from the molds.
- Fill half of the shells with 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix and a few mini marshmallows.
- Warm the edge of an empty shell by placing it briefly on a warm plate or skillet, then press it onto a filled half to seal. You can also use melted chocolate as glue.
- Optional: Drizzle melted chocolate over the top and decorate with sprinkles or crushed peppermint.
- To serve, place a hot chocolate bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it. Stir to combine.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best results and smoother shells.
- Make sure the chocolate shells are fully set before removing from molds.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
