Are you looking for something fun and unique to add to your hot cocoa routine this winter? Look no further than hot cocoa bombs! Our hot cocoa bomb instruction sheet will guide you through creating the perfect hot cocoa bombs for all your winter gatherings, or just for a cozy night in.
What are Hot Cocoa Bombs?
Hot cocoa bombs are hollow chocolate spheres filled with hot cocoa mix and marshmallows. When added to a hot cup of milk, the chocolate melts and releases the mix and marshmallows, creating a delicious and decadent cup of hot cocoa.
Creating Your Own Hot Cocoa Bombs
Creating your own hot cocoa bombs is quite simple, and only requires a few ingredients and materials:
- Chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips
- Hot cocoa mix
- Mini marshmallows
- Sphere silicone mold
- Spoon or piping bag
Once you have gathered your materials, you can begin by melting your chocolate. You can use a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl to melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
Filling the Mold
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill your silicone mold with melted chocolate. Make sure to spread the chocolate evenly in the mold and leave a bit of space to add the filling. Once you have filled all of the molds, let them set in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes.
Once your chocolate has set, you can begin to add your filling. Add about 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix and a small handful of mini marshmallows to one half of the chocolate sphere. Be careful not to overfill, as this will make it difficult to close the sphere once the filling is inside.
Closing the Sphere
Using the remaining half of the chocolate sphere, fill it with melted chocolate and then place it on top of the half with the filling. Gently press down on the top half until the two halves stick together and are sealed.
Let the chocolate bombs set in the fridge for another 10-15 minutes before removing them from the mold.
Using Your Hot Cocoa Bombs
Now that your hot cocoa bombs are complete, it’s time to enjoy them! Simply heat up a cup of milk and place the hot cocoa bomb in the mug. The chocolate will slowly melt and release the hot cocoa mix and marshmallows. Stir the mixture together and enjoy a delicious and cozy cup of hot cocoa.
Hot cocoa bombs are perfect for winter gatherings, holiday parties, or just a cozy night in by the fire. Get creative with your flavors and fillings, and enjoy a unique and delicious winter treat!
