[Recipe] Halloween Hot Chocolate Bombs
What is a hot chocolate bomb?
Hot chocolate bombs or hot cocoa bombs are cute little balls of chocolate that you put into a mug. When you pour hot milk into the mug, the chocolate melts and magically releases the marshmallows and cocoa hiding inside.
It’s super cute and fun and you can make SO many flavor variations! They sell hot chocolate bombs/hot chocolate balls at the store, but around here I haven’t seen any so I decided to make my own. You can too!
What you need to make homemade hot chocolate bombs

How to make homemade hot chocolate bombs
Melt your chocolate. Use the microwave to melt the chocolate melts or chocolate stirring in between until everything is smooth and pourable.
Fill the molds. Scoop some chocolate into the mold and use the back of a spoon or pastry brush to push the melted chocolate around the mold, making it thick enough along the sides and edges. Pop the molds into the freezer for 5-10 minutes to set.
Remove the chocolate from the molds. Gently push the half spheres out of the silicone mold.
Melt the edges. Microwave a microwave-safe plate for a minute, you want the plate to be just hot enough to melt the chocolate. Pick up the empty half of the chocolate bomb and place it on the warm plate for a couple of seconds, just until it melts.
Fill. Add 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa powder and mini marshmallows (and any other add-ins you want) to half of the spheres. Pick up another half and melt the edge on the warm plate then push the two sides together to seal.
Decorate. Drizzle on some extra chocolate, and decorate with crushed cookies, candy, or sprinkles!
If you don’t have a mold, wrap two eggs in saran wrap and dip them in the melted chocolate. Place on a plate and let set. Dip them again (so the shell is slightly thick), then melt the edges, add the insides, and seal.
