Want to learn how to make Hot Chocolate Bombs? These decorative chocolates are filled with hot cocoa mix and when added to a steaming mug of milk, water, or coffee they melt into a decadent treat! Perfect for gift giving on birthdays or for holidays such as Valentine's Day or Christmas!
3 Hot Chocolate Bomb Molds each with 6 semi spheres
Ingredients
11.5ounce bagPremium Chocolate Chips
9heaping TablespoonsHot Chocolate Mix
Mini Marshmallows or Crushed Candyoptional
Instructions
Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave them for 1 ½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
Spread the chocolate into the molds (18 semi spheres) using the back of a measuring spoon. Use just enough chocolate to cover the mold. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to harden. Add a second layer of chocolate and place in the freezer for another 5 minutes until hard. This will give you a nice chocolate shell that won't break.
Pop the chocolate semi spheres from the molds.
Fill 9 of the semi spheres with a heaping tablespoon of hot chocolate mix and any add-ins.
Gently press each of the tops onto a hot pan to melt the edges and then place onto a filled bottom. The melted edges will help to seal the chocolate bomb together.
Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the chocolate bombs and decorate with sprinkles, colored sugar, or crushed candy if desired.
Add to a steaming mug of milk, water, or chocolate - and enjoy!
