Hot chocolate bombs experienced a huge boom last winter, and they’re coming back stronger than ever. These picture-perfect sweet treats will change the way you make hot chocolate, and these useful tips will help you easily make them on your own.
Melting Your Chocolate
The first step of making hot chocolate bombs is melting your chocolate, and the way you do it makes all the difference. Never do it on high heat so your hot chocolate wouldn’t burn, and consider using the double boiler method, especially if you’re melting white chocolate.
Choice of Molds
Making hot chocolate bombs with the right molds is mission impossible and they might even break if you don’t make the right choice. Silicone molds are the safest bet because they’re flexible enough to get the frozen chocolate orbs out without a hitch. It’s up to you to pick the size that suits you, but it’s best to stick to 2.5 inches to make room for all the add-ins.
Sealing the Orbs
Even if you managed to take chocolate orbs out of the molds without any issues, you can still break them while trying to seal them. It’s a good idea to use silicone gloves when holding them so they wouldn’t start melting in your hands while you try to seal them.
