Hot Cocoa Bombs
Definitely didn't get the hype - until I tried a Hot Cocoa Bomb for the first time! Beyond delicious and SO fun to pour hot milk over! (And in his recipe, the white chocolate doesn't need tempering!)
Equipment
- Silicone Hot cocoa bomb mold (6 cups - you can use just one mold, or use two for faster prep time!)
- piping bag, disposable (for decorating)
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (12 ounces)
- ¾ cup Hot cocoa mix (12 Tablespoons)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips (2 ounces; for decorating)
- Sprinkle mix of your choice (Optional but recommended! I used FancySprinkles ‘Vintage Tinsel’)
Instructions
Prep
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave in 30-second intervals on 50% power or over a double boiler. (I recommend these methods because white chocolate can seize and harden if overheated).
- Use a spoon or pastry brush to coat the inside of the silicone molds. Make sure to make the coating thick enough that the mold doesn't show through the chocolate. Cool until solid (this took me about 5-10 minutes in the fridge) and remove shells from molds. Repeat process if needed for a total of 12 half-shells.
Assembly
- Now you’re ready to put them together! First – you need a way to melt the edges of the shells slightly so that they’ll stick together. I put a frying pan on the stove on low heat, and first melted the edges of half the white chocolate shells for 1-2 seconds until they evened out. You can also run a flat plate under hot water for 1-2 minutes, then dry it off and use that.
- Add 2 tablespoons of hot cocoa mix and as many marshmallows as will fit to the shells with the evened edges.
- Melt the edges of the remaining white chocolate shells, seal the two edges of the shell together while the chocolate is still warm. Smooth seams if needed and allow them to cool.
Now to decorate!
- Melt your semisweet chocolate in 30-second intervals on half power in the microwave. Transfer to a piping or zip-lock bag. Drizzle chocolate over the hot cocoa bombs and sprinkle with sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
- Annnd you’re done! Enjoy – or bag as an awesome Christmas gift!
