Description

Christmas Hot Cocoa Bombs are delightful chocolate spheres filled with hot cocoa mix and mini marshmallows. When you pour hot milk over them, they melt into a rich and festive hot chocolate. Here’s how you can make them at home:


Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces milk chocolate melting wafers
  • 8 tablespoons hot cocoa mix
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 2 ounces white chocolate melting wafers (for decoration)
  • 2 teaspoons Christmas-themed sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate wafers according to the package instructions. Stir until smooth.
  2. Prepare the Molds:
    • Place a silicone half-sphere mold on a baking sheet.
    • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each cavity.
    • Use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate evenly, covering the entire inner surface.
    • Refrigerate or freeze the molds for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
  3. Remove Chocolate Shells:
    • Gently remove the hardened chocolate halves from the molds.
  4. Fill the Shells:
    • In half of the chocolate shells, add 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix and 6-8 mini marshmallows.
  5. Seal the Bombs:
    • Warm a plate in the microwave.
    • Take an empty chocolate half and place its open edge on the warm plate for a few seconds to slightly melt the rim.
    • Quickly press this half onto a filled half to seal the bomb.
    • Repeat for all bombs.
  6. Decorate:
    • Melt the white chocolate wafers as per package instructions.
    • Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the sealed cocoa bombs.
    • While the drizzle is still wet, add Christmas-themed sprinkles for a festive touch.
    • Allow the decorations to set completely.
  7. Store:
    • Place the finished cocoa bombs in an airtight container.
    • Store at room temperature for up to 2 months.

To Serve:

  • Place a hot cocoa bomb in a mug.
  • Pour 8-10 ounces of hot milk over the bomb.
  • Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and enjoy your festive hot cocoa!

Notes

  • For a creamier drink, use whole milk or a dairy-free alternative like oat milk.
  • Use dark chocolate or white chocolate for a fun variation.
