Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Shell
- 12 ounces milk chocolate melting chocolate (chips or almond bark)
Filling
- 2 packets hot cocoa mix with mini marshmallows (about 1 heaping tablespoon per cocoa bomb)
- 1 box Nestle Crunch bits
- 6 cups hot milk (for serving)
Instructions
- Melting Chocolate: Begin by melting the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe dish for about 1 minute. Stir well, and if fully melted, remove from the microwave to prevent burning.
- Forming Chocolate Shells: Fill each mold with the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Place the molds in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set and harden.
- Removing Shells: Carefully pop the solidified chocolate shells out of the molds and set them aside, taking care not to crack them.
- Preparing Filling Ingredients: Gather hot cocoa mix packets and Nestle Crunch bits for the filling of each bomb.
- Sealing Cocoa Bombs: Heat a small skillet on the stove over low heat. Gently melt the edges of one chocolate shell in the skillet, then quickly fill it with hot cocoa mix and a few Nestle Crunch pieces.
- Completing the Bombs: Melt the edge of another chocolate shell similarly and seal it over the filled half, pressing gently to close. Repeat this process for all cocoa bombs.
- Serving: Place a cocoa bomb in your favorite mug. Pour 1 cup of hot milk over the bomb, stirring as it melts. Top with whipped cream and extra Nestle Crunch pieces for garnish. Enjoy your rich and crunchy hot chocolate!
Notes
- Ensure chocolate is fully melted but not overheated to avoid graininess.
- Use a silicone mold designed for chocolate bombs for best results.
- Store unopened cocoa bombs in a cool, dry place to maintain shape.
- For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy chocolate and milk alternatives.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate or flavored hot cocoa to customize your bombs.
