Hot chocolate bombs are still happening in 2022! These popular treats took social media by storm last winter. They are both fun to use and delicious to drink. If you haven’t heard of them yet, hot chocolate bombs are a sphere of chocolate stuffed with hot cocoa mix and marshmallows. When you pour hot milk over the hot chocolate bomb, it breaks open in your coffee mug and releases its contents, creating a yummy hot chocolate drink.
Hot chocolate bombs can be made of white chocolate, dark chocolate, or milk chocolate. Some are flavored with peppermint, caramel, or other flavors. They are typically spheres but can come in a variety of other shapes and sizes.
