Chocolate Love Bomb Recipes

HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS

Steps:

• Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted.
• Put a spoonful of melted chocolate inside one cup on the silicone mold and use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides of the mold. Continue this process until all the molds are coated.
• Set the remaining chocolate aside for sealing and decorating the bombs.
• Allow the chocolate to set completely, around 2 to 3 hours. You can speed up the process by placing the chocolate in the refrigerator.
• When the chocolate is set, remove each of the chocolate pieces from the mold. Add a small amount of instant hot cocoa mix to half the pieces and top the hot cocoa mix with marshmallows.
• Reheat the chocolate in 15 second intervals until melted. Pick up an empty chocolate piece and dip the edges into the melted chocolate. Carefully place it on top of a filled piece and lightly press it into place. Use your finger to smooth melted chocolate around the seam. Continue until all the chocolate bombs are sealed.
• Melt the white chocolate chips in 15 second intervals until melted, then place the remaining semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate in piping bags. Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the bombs to decorate.
• Allow the chocolate decorations to set before using, around 1 hour.
• To make the hot chocolate bombs, place the bomb in the bottom of a mug. Pour one cup of hot milk over the top of the bomb to melt the chocolate. When the chocolate is completely melted, stir to combine.

HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave. Use 15 second bursts, stirring in between until everything is smooth and pourable. It will take about 1-2 minutes.
• Scoop some chocolate into the mold and use the back of a spoon or pastry brush to push the melted chocolate around the molds, making it thick enough along the sides and edges.
• Place the molds into the freezer for 5-10 minutes or in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. A couple of minutes into them setting, take them out and brush/spoon extra chocolate on the top edges to make it thicker. Let set completely, then carefully pop the chocolate dome out of the mold and set aside on a cold plate.
• Microwave an empty plate for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until warm, but not hot. Take one chocolate dome and place it on the plate for a couple of seconds to melt the edges. Working quickly, flip it around and add 1 tablespoon hot cocoa powder and mini marshmallows and any other add-ins you want.
• Take another dome and melt its edge on the warm plate. Join the two domes together into a sphere and hold until sealed. Let set in the fridge or freezer while you make the rest of your spheres.
• To serve: Put into a mug, pour on warm milk (or hot chocolate!) and watch the magic! Stir everything up and enjoy.

HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS - NUMEROUS FLAVORS

Steps:

• Place the silicone mold on a flat, moveable surface like a tray or cutting board.
• Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe container like a glass measuring cup and microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each time. Mine took about 2 full minutes total.
• Add a heaping tablespoon of melted chocolate to each well of the silicone mold.
• Using a small rubber spatula, offset spatula, or back of a spoon, spread the chocolate up the sides of the mold until completely coated.
• Wait about 5 minutes for the chocolate to cool a bit and then divide the remaining chocolate between all of the wells and spread it around to give each of them a thicker coat. You want the chocolate to be thick, especially around the top edges.
• Place the mold, while on the tray in the freezer for the chocolate to set for at least 30 minutes.
• Once the chocolate has set, remove from the freezer. Give a little tug around the silicone mold to help release the chocolate. Then carefully use your fingers to push the chocolate cup out of the mold. Place the chocolate cups on a plate.
• Place the drink mix, marshmallows, and any other add-ins you are including in 3 of the chocolate cups.
• Working quickly (so your fingers don't melt the chocolate), place one of the empty cups open-side down on a hot plate to melt the edges a bit. Then place it on the filled half of the sphere and press lightly.
• Melt the decorating chocolate the same way you melted the chocolate for the spheres and then transfer it to a piping bag or decorating squeeze bottle.
• Pipe a thin ribbon of chocolate around the seam of the spheres and then smooth it out with your finger.
• Then drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the bombs and sprinkle with decorations.
• Allow the chocolate to set before moving.
• Keep refrigerated or frozen until ready to use.

• Add the cocoa powder and sweetener gradually, a couple tablespoons at a time. Puree after each addition, until smooth.
• Line a mini muffin pan with parchment liners. Pour or spoon the batter evenly into each liner, filling to the top.

HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS

Steps:

• Finely chop your chocolate using a sharp chefs knife
• Place the chocolate into a bowl and heat for 30 seconds (my microwave is 1000 watts)
• Stir the chocolate, moving the chocolate that is on the outside, towards the center.
• Heat again for 15 seconds and stir again.
• Repeat this process until the chocolate is ALMOST melted but not fully melted. Never heating for longer than 15 seconds and never going above 90F. If you go above 90º you will have to temper your chocolate by seeding (see my blog post for more info)
• Make sure your molds are clean by polishing them with a paper towel
• Paint a thin layer of chocolate into the molds and refrigerate for 5 minutes
• Paint a second coat of chocolate over the first, paying special attention to building up the rim of the sphere. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
• Take your chocolate out of the molds and fill with 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix and marshmallows
• Pipe some melted chocolate around the rim and attach the second sphere on top. Pressing gently to seal.
• Use a gloved hand to wipe away the excess chocolate or simply roll the chocolate sphere in some sprinkles to finish the look.
• Chop your chocolate finely with a sharp chefs knife
• Add your chocolate to a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds (my microwave is 1000 watts)
• Stir the chocolate, moving the chocolate that is on the outside, towards the center.
• Heat again for 15 seconds and stir again.
• Repeat this process until the chocolate is ALMOST melted but not fully melted. Never heating for longer than 15 seconds and never going above 90F. If you go above 90º you will have to temper your chocolate by seeding (see my blog post for more info)
• Polish your mold with a paper towel to remove and residue from the inside to prevent the chocolate from sticking.
• Warm the acrylic mold slightly with a hair dryer or heat gun so it doesnt feel cold but not hot either.
• Pour the chocolate (at 90ºF) into the molds and tap on the table a few times to remove bubbles.
• Dump the chocolate back into the bowl, use the edge of your bench scraper to tap out as much of the chocolate as possible. You don't want the chocolates to be too thick.
• Scrape off the excess chocolate from the top of the mold back into the bowl.
• Turn the mold upside down onto some parchment paper to let the chocolate drain further and almost completely set. About 5 minutes. The chocolate should lift away from the parchment paper easily but still be soft.
• Scrape off the excess chocolate again and then place the mold into the freezer for 5 minutes.
• The freezer will cause the chocolate to contract and pull away from the mold. If it's not tempered, it will not contract and there will be no way to get the chocolate out. You can tell if your chocolate is tempered because if you look under the mold, it wont be stuck to the molds anymore. If you have a couple spots where it still is, it will be ok and still release with no problem.
• Quickly turn your mold over onto the table to release the chocolate from the mold. Now they are ready to assemble.
• Add 1 Tablespoon of hot chocolate mix to half the sphere and some marshmallows.
• Pipe some melted chocolate onto the top of the sphere at attach the top piece of the sphere. Pressing gently but firmly.
• Use a gloved hand to wipe away the excess chocolate for a clean look or roll in some sprinkles to finish decorating them!
