How to make hot chocolate bombs
Follow our simple steps to discover how to make hot chocolate bombs at home:
- 1. Melt your chocolate in a microwavable dish in 30-second intervals. Stop once it becomes a runny liquid. You can also melt it in a metal bowl over a pan of boiling water on the hob if you prefer.
- 2. Pour the melted chocolate into 12 slots on a spherical silicone baking tray and leave to set. This should take between 10-60 minutes.
- 3. Once your half-spheres are set, pop them out of the silicone baking tray.
- 4. Fill half of them with a teaspoon of hot chocolate powder and mini marshmallows.
- 5. Dip the other half of your choco hemispheres in the remaining melted chocolate, before carefully placing them on top of the filled hemispheres.
- 6. Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the top of your new choco balls.
- 7. Make your hot chocolate.
- 8. Once your hot chocolate is ready and in your fave mug, carefully place a chocolate bomb in it and watch it melt!
