Hot chocolate bombs are still going strong, why? I think because these bombs have such an impressive look, they look harder to make than they are and of course, the person using them also gets to experience a fun transition from ball to hot chocolate as it melts into the cup. We made our own hot chocolate bombs at Christmas time, they were lots of fun and we experimented using different shaped molds also. The best thing about making things with chocolate is of course licking the bowl clean!
Wrap these bombs in a pretty bag or Kraft paper box for added impact. The perfect romantics DIY gift for Valentines day.
Serving: 7 hot cocoa bombs
Prep time: 15 minutes
Resting time: 5 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 cup white chocolate
½ cup marshmallows
½ cup hot chocolate
- heart shaped sprinkles
- Chocolate Bomb Molds
DIRECTIONS
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
You need to temper the melted chocolate. If you have a degree, melt it up to 45 degrees first. Then cool it to 27-29 degrees, then heat again to 30-31 degrees. If you do not have a chocolate thermometer, don’t worry, basic rule is don’t over heat it. Should be hot but not burn your finger if you dipped it in (do so with caution)
Spread the tempered chocolate on round chocolate molds with the help of a spoon or brush.
Put it in the fridge for 5 minutes and let it cool down
Take the chocolates out of the molds.
Melt the chocolate a little and put hot chocolate powder and marshmallows in it and stick them together and decorate as you wish
Your hot chocolate bombs are ready!
Bon-Appetit 🙂
