Hot Chocolate Powder
- ½ cup powdered or superfine sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
- ¼ cup chopped chocolate
- 2 tablespoons powdered milk see notes
Hot Chocolate Bombs
- 16 ounces chocolate candy coating or milk Chocolate Wafers see notes
- 1 cup hot chocolate powder
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- Sprinkles for garnish
Make the Hot Chocolate Powder
To make the hot chocolate powder, combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl or jar (a mason jar works well for this).
Store at room temperature until ready to use.
Make the Hot Chocolate Bombs
Melt the chocolate candy coating according to the package directions.
Fill each of the wells with 1-2 tablespoons of melted chocolate. Spread the chocolate around using a spoon or small offset spatula. Don’t forget to spread the chocolate all the way to the top-- you want to have a thick edge so your chocolate bomb doesn’t break.
Place the chocolate in the fridge for 5 minutes, or until it has hardened completely.
Carefully remove the chocolate wells from the mold.
Fill half of the chocolate wells with hot chocolate powder and mini marshmallows.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat until it is barely warm.
Place the rim of unfilled chocolate onto the pan for 1-2 seconds, or until the edges start to melt.
Carefully remove the chocolate from the pan and place it on top of the filled chocolate well. Press gently to seal the two together.
Decorate with melted chocolate and sprinkles, if desired.
To serve, add a hot chocolate bomb to a large mug. Pour over hot milk and stir until all of the chocolate has melted.
- I highly recommend using chocolate candy coating (also called chocolate bark or almond bark) in this recipe because it melts and rehardens easily and shinily. If you don’t have chocolate candy coating, you can use tempered chocolate-- but make sure to use tempered, not just melted. I suggest Guittard Milk Chocolate Wafers.
- Wearing gloves while making the hot chocolate bombs will help prevent fingerprints on the outside.
- Powdered milk is optional but it gives the hot chocolate an extra creaminess-- and it’s available in most grocery stores.
