    If you’re subscribed to my monthly newsletter then you know I mentioned in January that I was keen to try the hot chocolate bomb food trend. And I’m so glad I did! If you want to receive exciting and easy recipes, then be sure to subscribe to my mailing list here.

    First, let me just say that the final outcome of the recipe is so gorgeous. BUT there might be a huge chocolate mess in your kitchen throughout the whole process. And if you are a perfectionist and get upset when things don’t look as you planned, then you might want to give this a miss.

    I don't consider myself a professional in working with melted chocolate but I really wanted to give this hot chocolate bomb recipe a go. I went to a workshop a few years ago and learned all about tempering chocolate but once you’re home, things can go way different as you don’t have the same tools or space. I only wanted hot chocolate and to see the bombs melt in the milk, I wasn’t looking to open a chocolate factory so the mess that came with making this recipe was a bother!

    I used dark chocolate and melted it in the microwave, I didn’t use a food thermometer. Now, it wasn’t so well tempered since every time I touched the little spheres, I left a fingerprint on them.

    To create the spheres I used a silicone mold. I filled each sphere with a teaspoon of melted chocolate, placed it in the freezer to set, and then I created a second layer of chocolate so the spheres will be a bit more firm.

    To fill the bombs, I used my recipe for homemade hot cocoa. I filled the bombs with the cocoa powder mixture and with mini marshmallows, closed every 2 spheres and garnished with more melted chocolate and sprinkles.

    You can use store-bought hot chocolate mix as well. However, when making it at home, you control the amount of sugar in it so I prefer to make this way.

    To finish and enjoy the miracle of the bomb opening in the milk, place one in a mug. Warm milk in a different mug in the microwave or if you prefer in a small pot on the stovetop. You can use any milk you want, dairy or non-dairy. You can also use boiling water instead of milk but I think it's nicer with milk. And then the moment of truth - pour the hot milk on the bomb and wait for it to open. Stir the chocolate mix and enjoy.

    Let's start making these hot chocolate bombs:
