Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 12 ounces dark or semi sweet chocolate. You can use chocolate chips, or bar chocolate, chopped in small pieces.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- magic shell style chocolate dipping sauce recipe here
toppings
- Sprinkles
- crushed peppermint
Instructions
- Put chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl with the cream. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.*
- Let the bowl sit for a minute and then begin to stir the mixture together. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and glossy, and all the chocolate has melted. Stir in the vanilla.
- Let the ganache cool to a scoop-able texture. This can take several hours. To speed the process you can refrigerate, or put over a bowl of ice.
- Use a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop to portion out your ganache. If it is still too soft, refrigerate again until firm enough to scoop.
- Dip each ball of ganache into the Magic Shell sauce using a fork, and let the excess drip off before placing on a waxed paper lined surface.
- Immediately sprinkle on your garnishes while the chocolate is wet.
- When the coating has set, you can use or store your hot chocolate bombs in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before using.
