Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- ⅔ cup (133 g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (39 g) cocoa powder
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup (168 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Filling
- 6 tablespoons chocolate milk powder, divided
- 3 tablespoons mini marshmallows, divided
Equipment
- 1 silicone chocolate bomb mold
Instructions
- Prepare Chocolate Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and kosher salt. Set aside. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Coat Mold: Using a spoon or small brush, evenly coat the inside of each cavity of the silicone chocolate bomb mold with a generous layer of the melted chocolate. Be sure to coat the sides well for a sturdy shell. Place the mold in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate shell.
- Repeat Coating: Remove the mold from the refrigerator and apply a second layer of chocolate on the inside of each cavity to strengthen the shells. Refrigerate again until fully set and firm, approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove Shells: Carefully pop the chocolate shells out of the mold once fully set, handling gently to avoid cracking.
- Fill the Bombs: Take half of the shells and spoon about 2 tablespoons of chocolate milk powder and 1.5 tablespoons of mini marshmallows into each shell, distributing the filling evenly.
- Seal Bombs: Warm the remaining chocolate shells slightly on a warm plate or with brief microwave heat to soften edges. Gently press them onto the filled shells, sealing the edges by smoothing with your fingers or a warm spatula to create a closed sphere. Refrigerate to set the sealed bombs firmly, about 10 minutes.
- Serve: To enjoy, place one hot chocolate bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it. Watch it melt and reveal the delicious contents, then stir well and enjoy your rich hot chocolate.
Notes
- Hot Chocolate Bombs are chocolate spheres filled with homemade chocolate milk powder and marshmallows that are put into a mug with hot milk for a delicious cup of hot cocoa.
- Use semi-sweet chocolate for a balanced sweetness, or switch to milk chocolate for a sweeter treat.
- Ensure the chocolate shells are thick enough to hold the filling without breaking.
- Experiment with different fillings like peppermint bits or white chocolate chips for variety.
- Store the bombs in a cool, dry place or refrigerate to prevent melting before use.
