In one half of each hot cocoa bomb, add mini marshmallows and hot cocoa mix. Gently pop the chocolate shells out of the mold.


Brush with additional melted chocolate and freeze once more to build a thicker shell. Put the mold in the freezer for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, coat the inside of your spherical mold with the chocolate. Begin by melting your chocolate in the microwave or on the stove with a double boiler.
Chocolate bombs how to#
All you need is three ingredients: powdered sugar, powdered milk, and cocoa powder. Whisk them together in a 2:2:1 ratio and you'll have a ready-to-use mix.įeel free to fancy up your hot cocoa mix by swapping in dutch processed cocoa for a darker hot chocolate, or finely grated white chocolate if you want a snow-colored drink! HOW TO ASSEMBLE If you'd like to make your hot cocoa mix yourself, you're in luck, because it's incredibly easy. I mean, did a drizzle of caramel sauce ever do anyone wrong? I'll add inspiration for creative flavor variations below. Mini marshmallows are a must, but you can also get creative with the other add-ins. I prefer to make my hot cocoa mix from scratch, so I'll share the ridiculously simple recipe below so you can make your own, too.

Grab your favorite hot cocoa mix and go to town- a tablespoon per hot cocoa bomb is the perfect amount for a mug full of deliciousness. Why? Melting wafers are less likely to scorch or go grainy while you make your bombs in bulk, and they allow you to work will all sorts of colors and flavors without fuss. However, I honestly prefer the ease of working with chocolate melting wafers for this recipe. You can use chocolate chips if you have them on hand, or use high-quality chocolate for an even tastier shell. Just make sure that the hot chocolate balls will fit snugly into a standard-sized mug when they're fully assembled for the ideal results- half-spheres measuring about 2 to 2.5" in diameter will be your best option!

I actually happened to have silicone ice molds already that worked fine.
