Chocolate & Strawberries are a perfect pair, so why not make some fun Hot Cocoa Bombs flavored with them for your Sweetie, Friend or Family Members with a sweet tooth!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (If you like your Hot Cocoa extra sweet, use Milk Chocolate Chips)
- 1 tsp Strawberry Powder (per Medium Sphere) (1 Tbl per Large Sphere)
- 1 tsp Mini Marshmallows (Freeze Dried, per Sphere) [Optional]
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate Chips in a Double Boiler (or in the Microwave - 20 sec then stir, repeating as necessary until the Chocolate is melted and smooth). Remove from heat once the Chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Use Silicone Brush to apply thick layer of melted Chocolate into Circular Silicone Forms of desired size.
- Place Prepped Silicone Forms onto a baking pan and place in the freeze until the Chocolate is solid (@ 5-10 min).
- Once the Chocolate has set and is solid, carefully remove the Chocolate Sphere Halves from the circular forms pan and place onto the baking pan.
- Fill each sphere half with Strawberry Powder & Mini Marshmallows [Optional] (or desired fillings - See Notes Below).
- Using some of the remaining melted Chocolate from Step 1, seal two sphere halves together with the melted Chocolate and set completed Hot Cocoa Bomb / Sphere aside. Once all Hot Cocoa Bombs / Spheres are sealed, place them on the baking pan and back into the freezer for @ 5-10 min to set the Chocolate Seam.
- Place each Hot Cocoa Bomb / Sphere into a foil wrapper (See Notes below for suggestions). These can also store as is in an airtight container.
