Storage and Shelf Life

Once you've made your hot cocoa bombs, proper storage is essential to maintain their deliciousness. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. This will help prevent the chocolate from blooming and ensure that your treats stay fresh and tasty.

Hot cocoa bombs can last for up to two weeks when stored correctly. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Just be sure to wrap them individually to prevent freezer burn. When you're ready to enjoy, simply let them thaw at room temperature before using.

Ingredients

For the Cocoa Bombs

2 cups chocolate chips (dark or milk)
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup mini marshmallows
12 silicone molds

Make sure to have all ingredients ready before you start.

Instructions

Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

Coat the Molds

Using a spoon, coat the inside of each silicone mold with melted chocolate. Make sure to cover the sides evenly. Let it set in the fridge for about 10 minutes.

Add Cocoa and Marshmallows

Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the molds from the fridge. Fill half of the molds with cocoa powder and a few mini marshmallows.

Seal the Bombs

Take the remaining half of the chocolate-coated molds and gently press them onto the filled molds. Seal the edges with extra melted chocolate if needed.

Chill and Serve

Chill the finished cocoa bombs for another 10 minutes before removing them from the molds. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Enjoy your delicious Hot Cocoa Bombs!
