How to Make DIY Hot Chocolate Bombs
DIY chocolate bombs are not only easy to make but they also have the WOW factor too! Here’s how to make yours…
Step 1
Gather your tools and ingredients
Step 2
Place your chocolate chips or wafers into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 30-second increments until your chocolate is melted and smooth. Sometimes chocolate can hold its shape even when melted so be sure to keep checking by stirring with a spoon.
Step 3
Once your chocolate has fully melted, coat your silicone molds, making sure that the sides and bottom are well coated.
Step 4
Place the chocolate-coated molds into the fridge for approximately 30 minutes to an hour to fully set. Once set, pop them gently out of the molds.
Step 5
Fill half of your chocolate shells with enough hot chocolate powder for one hot chocolate (refer to your packaging recommendations) and top with mini marshmallows.
Step 6
To seal two halves of the chocolate bomb together, start by heating a plate in the microwave (or a pan on the stove) and gently place the rim of an empty half onto the heated surface to allow it to melt slightly. This should only take a few seconds. Once slightly melted place quickly onto the rim of a filled half and allow the chocolate to set.
Step 7
Melt the white chocolate wafers in the microwave as you did for the chocolate in step 2 and use a piping bag (or simply a spoon filled with melted chocolate) to drizzle onto the bomb. Allow to set and then repeat for the pink.
Step 8
Before the final drizzle sets apply your sprinkles and allow them to set once again.
Step 9
To make delicious hot chocolate add 1 hot chocolate bomb to a mug and pour 8-10 ounces of milk over the top. Stir until melted and enjoy!
