Delight in the cozy charm of homemade hot chocolate bombs made with rich dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and mini marshmallows. These fun, interactive treats melt into creamy hot milk, releasing a deliciously indulgent hot chocolate experience perfect for chilly days or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Shell

  • 120 g dark chocolate

Filling

  • 4 tsp cocoa powder
  • 2–4 tsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 100 g mini marshmallows

To Serve

  • 800 ml semi-skimmed milk

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate either in short bursts in the microwave, stirring between intervals until smooth, or gently over a double boiler to avoid burning.
  2. Form Chocolate Shells: Pour melted chocolate into 8 divots of a semi-sphere silicone mold. Use a spoon to evenly spread the chocolate around the edges, then invert the mold over the bowl to remove excess chocolate, creating thin chocolate shells.
  3. Harden the Shells: Place the filled mold in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
  4. Remove Shells: Once firm, carefully peel off the silicone mold and pop out the chocolate semi-spheres.
  5. Prepare the Filling: Arrange 4 chocolate semi-spheres and top each with 1 teaspoon cocoa powder, ½ to 1 teaspoon granulated sugar to preference, and a sprinkle of mini marshmallows.
  6. Seal the Bombs: Heat a small, clean pan over high heat. Briefly press the edge of an empty semi-sphere onto the hot pan to slightly melt it, then quickly place it over a filled semi-sphere. Press the edges together gently to seal and form the hot chocolate bombs.
  7. Decorate: Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the sealed bombs and garnish with a few mini marshmallows.
  8. Store: Place the finished hot chocolate bombs in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  9. Serve: Heat semi-skimmed milk in a pan until just below simmering. Place a hot chocolate bomb into a mug and pour the hot milk over it, allowing the bomb to melt and release the cocoa and marshmallows. Stir well, add extra marshmallows if desired, and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sugar quantity in the filling to suit your preferred sweetness level.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute semi-skimmed milk with a plant-based milk alternative.
  • If no silicone molds are available, try using other suitable molds or forming chocolate shells by hand.
  • Store hot chocolate bombs in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain their shape and freshness.
  • Be careful when sealing the bombs with heat—only briefly touch the edges to avoid melting the entire shell.
