Hot Chocolate Bombs
Description
This Hot Chocolate Bomb recipe involves melting chocolate and coating the inside of molds twice to form sturdy shells. After chilling, the halves are carefully removed and their edges smoothed on a warm pan. Each is filled with hot chocolate mix, peppermint candies, and mini marshmallows, then sealed with another chocolate half. The bombs are decorated with melted white chocolate, sprinkles, and crushed candies to enhance visual appeal.
The technique ensures even chocolate layers to prevent thin spots that might crack. Wearing gloves and controlling finger temperature helps avoid melting the chocolate while assembling. When dropped into warm milk or milk alternative, the chocolate shell melts away revealing the flavored hot cocoa mix and marshmallows that dissolve to create a creamy, flavorful drink.
These can be prepared ahead and given as gifts or enjoyed as a cozy treat during colder months. Decoration choices can be varied seasonally for added fun.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup hot chocolate mix
- 4 tablespoons peppermint candies crushed
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate melted
- candies crushed and melted for garnish
- Sprinkles
- chocolate
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate, then place about 2 tablespoons into each mold. Using a spoon or pastry brush, distribute the chocolate so it coats the inside of each mold evenly.
- Place in the freezer for 5 minutes, and then add a second coat of chocolate to each mold. Place back into the freezer for another 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the chocolate from the molds.
- Then, using a warm pan, place 4 of the halves one by one onto the pan to even out the edges.
- Fill each of these half circles with 2-3 tablespoons of hot chocolate mix. Add in a pinch of peppermint candies and a small handful of marshmallows.
- Take an empty half circle and even out the edges on the warm pan. Immediately place that half on top of one of the filled halves. Hold and press for 10 seconds to help the chocolate stick. Repeat this profess with the remaining three.
- Decorate your formed bombs with drizzled melted white chocolate, sprinkles, and crushed candy as desired.
- When you are ready to use your hot chocolate bomb, place it in a mug and pour one cup of warm milk on top.
Notes
- Melt chocolate slowly using a double boiler or short microwave bursts to avoid burning.
- Check molds for thin chocolate spots and add extra layers if needed for strength.
- Wear food-safe gloves during assembly and dip fingers in ice water to prevent melting chocolate.
- Decorate the bombs with melted chocolate, crushed candies, or sprinkles for visual effect.
