Jumping on the Cocoa Bomb Bandwagon

Sometimes you figure if EVERYONE really is doing it, then maybe there is something to it.  After seeing all these cocoa bomb pictures and how-to's and videos, we decided maybe it was time to give it a try ourselves.  

So we did.  Of course we don't have any round molds, and of course they are all told out everywhere.  No problem.  We have this.  We used a silicone muffin one as well  Totally worked! No one said cocoa bombs had to be spheres!  The girls coated the inside of the molds with a thin layer of melted chocolate and stuck them in the fridge to help it set.

Our lovely model Rylee is showing how she scooped the cocoa out of the packet and put it in the mold.  Okay, fine. She's just having a good time, but that's what she's doing!

Once you put the cocoa powder inside, you cover the top with melted chocolate, to encase the cocoa powder.  If you are feeling frisky, you can put a candy cane in it too. Then put them in the fridge or freezer to set the chocolate.

Once the chocolate is solid, pop the shapes out of the milds and finish decorating.

The girls had a marvelous time.

 

And created some lovely and delicious treats.  I confess though..... they were a bit rich.  You heat up milk, and once it is steaming hot, plop your cocoa bomb in it and watch it melt.  Stir it into the milk and ta da.... hot cocoa.
