What are hot chocolate bombs?

Hot chocolate bombs are chocolate spheres filled with hot cocoa powder, marshmallows, and any other little edible decorations you’d like to add such as sprinkles. Basically a fancy hot chocolate ball with marshmallows inside! You can then decorate these hot chocolate balls with whatever you like on the outside. 

How do you use hot chocolate bombs?

This is where it gets really fun. You put one of the hot cocoa bombs into your mug, then pour your hot milk over it. The milk then begins to melt the chocolate and the ball opens up mixing in the hot chocolate powder and marshmallows. 

Will hot chocolate bombs work with water?

They definitely will! Make sure you’re using a hot chocolate powder that pairs well with water for the best flavour. These will taste better with milk usually, but in a pinch, you can use hot water!
