    hot chocolate bomb on a white bowl

    What is a hot chocolate bomb?

    A hot chocolate bomb is a hollow chocolate sphere that has been filled with hot cocoa mix before closing and sealing the edges with more melted chocolate. The cocoa bomb is placed in a mug and hot milk is poured over the chocolate bomb, melting the chocolate outer shell, allowing the cocoa mix and decorations to be incorporated into the hot milk making for a fun and delicious cup of hot chocolate.

    What ingredients are needed to make hot cocoa bombs?

    There are two ingredients needed to make the famous hot chocolate bombs, hot chocolate powder and melted chocolate. Decorations and additional marshmallows can be used to make them festive.

    sprinkles in cups for hot chocolate bombs
    • Hot chocolate powder: I prefer a hot chocolate mix that is a dark hot chocolate mix, but milk chocolate hot cocoa powder or even white hot chocolate would be delicious.
    • Chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers - I find that the melting chocolate wafers are more forgiving when it comes to melting and remelting. But the melted chocolate chips give the chocolate bomb more of a 'snap' and better shine. If you want to be very gourmet, you can temper chocolate couverture.
    • Sprinkles, Mini Marshmallows and Decorations - choose festive sprinkles, mini marshmallows and other seasonal decorations such as crushed candy cane and mint chocolate candies.

    How to make a hot chocolate bomb

    1. Chop the chocolate - if not using chocolate melting wafers, or chocolate chips, instead a high-quality chocolate bar, chop the chocolate into small pieces for melting.
    2. Melt the chocolate - place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between intervals until the chocolate is melted. spreading chocoalte in silicone molds for hot chocolate bomb
