Healthier Hot Chocolate Bombs
You will have a lot of fun making these with the kiddos. They have a fun little surprise inside!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 bags chocolate chips we use this Stevia sweetened brand to make them healthier
- Mini marshmallows we use this brand because it does not include corn syrup
- Hot chocolate mix we use this dark chocolate brand because it's fair trade
- Equipment:
- Double boiler
- Spatula
- Pastry brush or an unused paint brush
- Silicon molds
- Cookie sheet optional, but makes transporting them to the freezer much easier
Instructions
- Melt chocolate over a double boiler until nice and creamy.
- Paint the chocolate on the inside of the molds.
- Put the molds into the freezer (or if you live in a cold climate, like Minnesota, put them outside!).
- Once nice and hard, paint on a second coat. Make sure to pay attention to the top edge so it's nice and thick or it will collapse when you put the molds together.
- Put them back into the freezer and allow them to harden. Have patience, you want them nice and hard!
- Pop them out of the molds, careful not to handle too much, and melt the chocolate with your hands.
- Fill one cup with hot chocolate mix and marshmallows.
- Put another cup on top and either paint the seam shut with more chocolate, or smooth it together with your fingers.
- Decorate with sprinkles or anything you want to make them look pretty!
How to use them:
- Place a hot chocolate bomb into a mug and pour warm hot milk or water over it. Watch it melt and explode the marshmallows out. My kids LOVED this part!
- Stir and enjoy!
- I store them in the freezer, they last longer and hold their shape.
Notes
Fun variations:
- You can make them with a healthy version of white chocolate and gluten-free crushed cookie crumbs to make them look pretty.
- You can also color the white chocolate with healthy coloring, like beetroot powder or spirulina (to make red and green).
