Makes 9 balls
I had been hearing about hot chocolate bombs for a while so I decided to tackle them on my own. I had to try it a few times as the chocolate kept melting in my hands. So I froze a double layer of chocolate and it worked so much better. You will need a three pack of medium semi sphere silicone chocolate mold with six holes for this recipe. I purchased them through Amazon.
Ingredients
Dark, milk and white chocolate wafers (I have these in the freezer all the time)
Hot chocolate powder
Mini marshmallows
Sprinkles
Directions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and top with a cooling rack
Melt 1 cup of dark chocolate and ½ cup milk chocolate in a microwaveable bowl. Set for 1 minute on high, take out and using a whisk mix well
Keep microwaving for 30 seconds and then whisking until the chocolate is fully melted and there are no chunks. Do not overheat chocolate as it will turn hard
Spoon one tablespoon of chocolate into the silicone cup and using the back of the spoon bring the chocolate up on the side of each cup
Do this for all three silicone trays
Place in freezer for 15 minutes
Melt more dark and milk chocolate to add a second layer of chocolate on each of the silicone cups
Place in freezer for another 15 minutes
Slowly pop each chocolate cup out of the silicone cup and place on a tray
Heat a small frying pan for a minute and place one chocolate cup on the pan and move it around so the rim of the chocolate cup is smooth
Place a tablespoon of hot chocolate mix into the cup
Heat a second chocolate cup in a heated pan and place 5 marshmallow in the cup
Seal both chocolate cups together by bringing them together
Place on cooling rack, do this with the rest of the chocolate cups
Freeze for ½ hour
Melt white chocolate wafers and place in a squeeze bottle or piping bag with #4 nozzle
Pipe white chocolate on each ball and top with sprinkles before it sets
Place ball on a muffin paper cup and put into a plastic container
Freeze until ready to use
When ready to make hot chocolate bombs or mocha bombs take them out of freezer
Make cappuccinos or heat milk for hot chocolate
Place heated milk or cappuccino in large cups and leave some room
Drop a bomb in each cup and wait to watch it explode with chocolate, cocoa powder and marshmallows. Stir well and enjoy
