What is a hot chocolate bomb?

Apparently, Tik Tok has made them all the rage these days.

I had no idea what they were, so I researched.

Traditional hot chocolate bombs are hollow shells of chocolate filled with hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Once dropped into a mug of hot milk, they burst open and the contents of hot chocolate mix spills out to be stirred into a hot drink.

These hot chocolate bombs have heartwarming mocha flavor with a hint of cinnamon. Added as the main event of these mocha hot chocolate bombs, they are DEE-licious!

How to Make Mocha Hot Chocolate Bombs

Ingredients you’ll need (for 4 hot chocolate bombs):

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp. butter
fireside coffee mix (recipe below)
2 squares bakers white chocolate

Supplies you’ll need for making hot chocolate bombs:

Hot chocolate bombs mold – I used mini muffin molds, but many people use these sphere molds from Amazon
Piping tip and bag for piping on the white chocolate

Step by Step Method of chocolate bomb recipe:

Make the fireside coffee mix (recipe below).
Set 8 silicone molds on a pan that can be moved to the fridge or freezer.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the butter in a microwave safe bowl in 25 second intervals, stirring in between each interval- until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Using a teaspoon, coat the insides and sides of the silicon molds well.
Place the filled molds in the fridge or freezer until they are set completely.
Once set, carefully peel the molds off each of the chocolates.
Fill 4 halves with 1 1/2 Tablespoons fireside coffee mix – “piling” it high in the middle.
Pour boiling water over a small plate to warm it up, and dry it off well with a towel.
Place the top half of a chocolate onto the plate and twist gently until it starts to melt. Then press it onto a filled chocolate and make sure it adheres well. Repeat with all chocolates.
Optional – Melt white chocolate squares in the microwave in 25 second intervals – stirring in between until it is melted. Place in a piping bag and pipe onto the hot chocolate bombs for decoration.
