Description

Delight in these fun and festive Hot Cocoa Bombs that melt beautifully in hot milk to create a rich, creamy cup of hot chocolate. Made with smooth melted chocolate shells filled with unsweetened cocoa powder and mini marshmallows, these treats can be customized with your favorite flavor extracts and sprinkles for a perfect cozy drink experience.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Shells

  • 1 cup chocolate melts (dark, milk, or white)

Filling

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • Flavor extracts (e.g., peppermint or vanilla) – a few drops

Decoration (Optional)

  • Additional melted chocolate for drizzling
  • Festive sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: Place the chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  2. Coat the molds: Using a spoon or brush, coat silicone molds evenly with the melted chocolate. Allow to cool slightly, then add a second layer for sturdier shells. Let them set until firm.
  3. Fill the shells: Once the chocolate shells are set, fill half of them with unsweetened cocoa powder mixed with a few drops of your chosen flavor extract, then add mini marshmallows on top.
  4. Seal the bombs: Warm a plate briefly in the microwave, then press the open edge of an empty chocolate shell onto the warm plate to slightly melt the edge. Quickly press it onto the filled half to seal it, creating a closed sphere.
  5. Decorate (optional): Use additional melted chocolate to drizzle on top and add festive sprinkles for a decorative touch. Let set completely.
  6. Serve: Place one hot cocoa bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it. Watch it melt and stir to enjoy a delicious hot chocolate.

Notes

  • Use good-quality chocolate melts for best flavor and easy melting.
  • Ensure the molds are fully coated and the chocolate sets well to prevent cracks.
  • Adjust the amount of cocoa powder and marshmallows to your taste preferences.
  • Experiment with different flavor extracts like peppermint or vanilla for a unique twist.
  • Store finished cocoa bombs in an airtight container at room temperature away from heat.
