Chocolate Ingredients
- 1 cup High-quality chocolate chips Dark, milk, or a mix based on preference.
- 1/2 cup Cocoa powder Use unsweetened for best flavor.
- 1/4 cup Powdered sugar For sweetness and smooth texture.
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract Optional but recommended for flavor.
- 1/4 cup Chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips For filling.
Optional mix-ins
- Crushed peppermint For a festive touch.
- Cinnamon For added warmth.
- Sprinkles For decoration.
Serving Ingredients
- 2 cups Milk Whole, almond, or oat milk can be used.
Instructions
- Begin by melting the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before coating the inside of your silicone mold.
- Using a spoon or brush, coat the inside of the mold with melted chocolate, ensuring an even layer about 1/8 inch thick. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes to set.
- Add a second layer of chocolate to reinforce the shell and refrigerate again for 5-10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the chocolate shells from the molds by flexing the silicone.
- In a bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and any optional flavorings.
- Fill half of the chocolate shells with 1-2 tablespoons of the cocoa mixture and add chocolate chips or mix-ins.
- To seal the bombs, warm a plate in the microwave, place the open side of an empty shell on it for a few seconds, then press it onto a filled half.
- Decorate with melted chocolate drizzles or sprinkles if desired.
- Store the Hot Chocolate Bombs in an airtight container until ready to use.
