Hot chocolate bombs have become a huge viral sensation in recent years, and they tend to make a comeback as soon as colder days arrive. If you’ve never tried making them on your own because it seems too complicated, our brief guide will help you get it done.
Right Molds
The molds you use will determine how well your hot chocolate bombs will turn out. Silicone molds are the easiest to handle, and they should be around 2.5 inches wide so they can fit all the ingredients inside.
Melting Chocolate
Look for a chocolate that melts smoothly to make sure your bombs have a rich flavor. Avoid using the microwave and melt the chocolate on low fire instead so you can monitor the temperature and ensure a smooth finish.
Right Fillings
Mini marshmallows and hot cocoa mix are the two most commonly used ingredients in hot chocolate bombs but feel free to get creative and add some crushed peppermint, caramel bits, and cinnamon to the mix.
Sealing With Care
When sealing hot chocolate bombs, it’s highly recommended to use the hot plate to melt the edges and make sure your hands are not cold so the orbs won’t break or melt.
Picture-Perfect Decorations
Feel free to experiment when decorating your chocolate bombs. Use a piping bag to create swirls or patterns and consider adding sprinkles, edible glitter, crushed candy canes, and edible decorations on top.
