Cookies and Cream Hot Cocoa Bombs are a delicious and fun way to enjoy a special mug of hot chocolate. I show you step-by-step how to make Hot Chocolate Bombs. They make great gifts.
9ouncesWhite Chocolate Callets(or white chocolate chips)
¼cupOreo Cookie Crumbs,plus more for decorating
½cupHot Chocolate Mix
½cupMini Marshmallows
1.55ounce Hershey’s Cookies 'n' Creme Candy Bar
Instructions
Prepare 2 6-opening silicone molds by making sure they are clean and dry.
Melt
Put white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on full power for 25 seconds, then mix well.
Microwave again in bursts of 15 seconds, mixing well after each burst. When the chocolate starts to melt, use a food thermometer to check that the chocolate stays at about 85-87°F (do not go above 87°F).
Repeat process, microwaving in bursts of 10-15 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted.
Mold
With a teaspoon or pastry brush, coat each mold thinly with the chocolate, doing at least 2 coats. Ensure the edges of the molds are well coated.
Place into the fridge for 5 minutes.
Once solid, look for any thin areas in the half spheres and coat with a little more chocolate if necessary. If needed, pop again into the fridge for a few more minutes.
Fill
Gently remove the chocolate half spheres from the silicone molds.
Fill 6 of the chocolate half-spheres each with 2 Tablespoons of hot cocoa mix, as much mini marshmallows as desired and Cookies 'n' Creme chocolate bits.
Take the empty chocolate half-spheres, place each rim side down on a warm plate to melt the edge slightly and place on top of a filled half sphere and gently press together to seal the sphere.
Repeat the process until all the spheres are complete.
Decorate
Drizzle each bomb with remaining melted white chocolate or dark chocolate (for more contrast) and sprinkle with crushed Oreos.
Serve
When ready to serve, put 1 cocoa bomb into a mug, pour 7-8oz of steaming hot milk into the cup and mix. The bomb takes about 5-10 seconds to completely dissolve. Top with more marshmallows if desired. Enjoy.
Notes
Use good quality chocolate for best results. I used Callebaut white chocolate callets with 28% cocoa (or good white chocolate chips).
Make sure the Oreos are crushed to fine crumbs to make it easy to mix well with the white chocolate.
Store in an air tight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 2 months.
