What are hot chocolate bombs?
They are simply a dessert in a form of balls that have chocolate as the main ingredients and topped with marshmallows. They are also called hot cocoa bombs.
Ingredients you will need:
- Candy Melts: Red, white and blue colors.
- White Hot Chocolate
- Marshmallows
- Baking chips: Also, red, white, and blue.
How to make patriotic hot cocoa bombs?
- Melt the Candy Melts: In your microwave, melt the three together for about 60 seconds, or until they are all melted.
- Add the chocolate to the mold: Once melted, spoon about ½ tablespoon of each color into the bottom of each half-sphere mold. Gently swirl the colors together to create a marble effect. You can also decorate it separately without combining them together. Fill each mold, and then refrigerate or place in the freezer for about 5-1o minutes to firm them up.
- Top: Next, remove them from the refrigerator or freezer, and add the hot chocolate mix. Then, top it with baking chips and mini marshmallows. Finally, add a bit of melted chocolate to the sides of each sphere and top with another one.
- Garnish: Drizzle the tops with melted chocolate and immediately add some sprinkles on top. Refrigerate.
- Serve: Remove the chocolate bombs from the fridge, prepare some hot milk. Next, place a hot chocolate bomb into a cup and pour the hot milk on top. Stir and serve immediately.
