Hot Chocolate Bombs
Maybe it’s all of the Hallmark movies I have been watching this winter, with their decadent hot chocolate as a pivotal heart-warming beverage used to strengthen relationships of all ages. Or perhaps, it’s just the natural evolution of the bread machine diaries in our home during the pandemic. Throw in a little Pinterest and a side of TikTok and you have a recipe for hot chocolate bomb FOMO.
Anyways, right now these delicious little chocolate treats are rocking our world. Stay tuned as we elaborate and make some tasty variations on these in the next few days. Don’t worry, I will be sure to share.
These hot chocolate bombs are pretty simple actually. The first time we made them we thought they’d be hard to do and frankly the hardest part is resisting eating them as you fill them and seal them.
We used semi sweet milk chocolate for our first batch because I wanted to try my favourite milk chocolate first.
Hunting down these cute silicone molds was harder than I thought. So, take my advice and just pop over to Amazon and get these silicone molds now. Oh, and you might wish to stock up on mini marshmallows right now because they are currently flying off the shelves.
The Search Was On
For a time we looked in the baking departments at numerous grocery stores, but there was nothing there. Then, we searched the local Dollar Stores and the bulk baking supply stores. I was almost going to make these with a make your own bath bomb mold. But Payton put the end to that. It would have been impractical because they are individual and making one single hot chocolate bomb at a time would be tedious.
So Satisfying
These are delicious and they definitely elevate hot chocolate and hot cocoa too
Perhaps the most satisfying part though is watching them dissolve slowly in warm milk.
Here’s How to Make Them
