Funtime Gifts The Original Chocolate Bomb Trio, Pack of 3, 100 grams

Product Information

Literal balls of chocolate that melt – like an edible bath bomb – when you pour hot milk on top or just drop the ball into the milk. Not to be confused with these bath bombs. Or like Jager bombs without the morning regret. If only we could remember to get our credit card from the bar!

The things we’ve listed above are just basics for making hot chocolate bombs. But there are a lot of things you can do if you want to get creative or try out different ways to make these delightful drink-starters. We’ve listed a few of them below for you to think about: Heat your chocolate slowly as this prevents it from breaking. We like to use the double boiler method to help control this process, but you can use the microwave to melt the chocolate. Do this by microwaving for 30 seconds, stirring, then for 15-second increments from there. I used the piping bag to add a little bit of chocolate to the cheeks, then pressed a snowflake sprinkle into the chocolate. Same for the nose, however, I used a red chocolate candy. Milk chocolate has more sugar and dairy in it than semi-sweet chocolate so it will melt at a lower temperature. Follow the same process for melting and tempering but I melt in 15-second increments, stirring in between. Never let the milk chocolate go above 86ºF or it will fall out of temper. On the sweeter side were Asda's and Aldi's hot chocolate bombs which proved to make a decent mug of hot chocolate.High-quality chocolate will melt more smoothly and be easier to work with. Couverture chocolate is specifically designed to melt and set easily since it has a higher percentage of cocoa butter. Chocolate with at least 65% cocoa will also work well.

hot chocolate will fill you with warmth and raise your spirits. And that’s especially true at Christmas. Hot chocolate is an uplifting drink for all the family, young and old. It’s perfect as an afternoon treat and as a soothing drink before bed. Why not leave out a mug of hot chocolate for Santa too? Upgrade your hot chocolate Got silicone moulds that come in tray form? Some find cutting the moulds up into individual mould squares makes it easier, as you get more control of the mould when you want to make a chocolate shell since adding the layer of chocolate is easier and less awkward When the bombs are fully made and set, why not melt down another type of chocolate (like white chocolate if you used milk or dark, dark chocolate if you used white, etc.) and use it as a dip or drizzle? You can make your bombs look pretty, and it gives you another place to put some sprinkles! Using an acrylic mold has a few more steps but the shine is incredible and is much faster than using a silicone mold.You want to make sure you're using good quality chocolate that has cocoa butter in it and not too many other ingredients or the chocolate isn't going to melt right. You can use candy-melts but the taste is going to be more like wax and not melt very well in your hot chocolate. Chocolate chips are also not going to work very well.
