Spice up your hot chocolate drink this winter with these easy to make dark chocolate and
cinnamon bombs. They are delicious!
Hot chocolate cinnamon bomb recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
200 g dark chocolate
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla icing sugar
50 g mini marshmallows
Milk to serve
Peppermint candy spoons (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
For my chocolate bombs, I used cake pops silicone mould, the sphere and star shapes. If you
use something similar in size to mine, you will need 2 bombs per serving. You can use any
mould you like, but keep in mind that you need doubles, as they will have to be sealed
together to create the bomb.
Melt the chocolate on bain-marie. Using a pastry brush, brush a layer of melted chocolate
in the moulds, making sure you cover the whole surface, but it doesn't need to be perfect.
Set in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Brush a second layer of melted chocolate on the first layer. Chill in the fridge for at least
1 hour or overnight.
Remove from the moulds, however make sure you work with one pair at a time. Place the rest
back in the fridge until you finished with the first one. Take 1 of the pair and fill with
cinnamon, add mini marshmallows, then add vanilla sugar. Don't overfill, as you will not be
able to seal them together.
To seal them together, you can use one of the 3 methods below:
1. Over a hot pan, take the empty piece of the bomb and hold it for 1 second. Then stick in on
the other half, to keep the pair together.
2. On open gas flame, take a tablespoon and heat the back of the tablespoon, then place it on
each half of the bomb for 1 second, then seal them together.
3. Use melted chocolate and brush the halves, then seal them. I found this to be the easiest
method.
Repeat until you finish with the rest.
Heat up the milk. In a mug, add 2 chocolate bombs ( or 1 if you use a large mould ) and pour
the milk over. You will see how the hot chocolate bomb will melt and the surprise will get out.
TIP: If you only have giant marshmallows, you can cut them in small pieces with scissors.
