Holiday Hot Chocolate Bombs

[@bib144]

Thank you for all of your hot choco bomb recipes. They are really creative. I love that you put ganache in it. Honestly every recipe i saw just put cacao or instant powder and some marshmellows and call it a day.

[@Areesa]

So happy you like the recipes! 😊

[@SlaveNation]

I loved them all. I bake and candy make myself. However you kept this sweet and simple yet beautiful and elegant. I am looking for things to make with my sons gfs daughters that they will love!! they will be impressed and proud to show these off!!!

[@lhorne4808]

I love your voice! It's so clear and easy to understand without that vocal fry so many women think is necessary. 🙄 Your recipes are so easy and delicious! I can't wait to make these for friends and family! Keep up the great work!

Could you do a tutorial on how to make with Baileys?🙃

[@BlackSpyder85]

Agreed! I tried to do a Kahlua one and the chocolate seized up.

[@Appaddict01]

Frank Harris You should have added more liquid. It’s like making water ganache if a tiny bit of water gets in it will seize. But, if you add more water it smooths out again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amfXaqqrpdyinck

[@mzdee11]

@@Areesa perfect. Thank you for responding so quickly.

[@cdjmoore]

These are lovely and I can't wait to make the peppermint bomb! How much hot milk should be added for the best flavor? Is it necessary to use dairy milk, or could another (soy, almond, rice) be used? Thanks!

[@Areesa]

Thank you! My cup was around 12 oz. I used lactose-free dairy milk (tastes almost exactly like regular milk) so you could try that if lactose is the problem. I haven't tried it with any others so I'm not sure...let me know how it turns out if you give it a try though!

[@sophielorber4571]

From my experience rice milk is very sweet in hot chocolate, with the sweet chocolate it could be too much. Toasted almond milk is delicious in hot chocolate, I love the taste of nuts with chocolate! Barista soy or oat milk should work as well, again they just shouldn't be too much sweetened. I hope this helps. :)

[@kellyfredericks2326]

The ones I have done with almond bark do not melt well in the warm milk. I was going to use candy melts, but have seen where they do not taste very chocolate. Are you using Merckins?

[@jillpritchard8793]

Hello Areesa, I just saw this video yesterday and was floored. What an Awesome idea! I had heard of these before but didn’t know what they were. I do have a couple questions for you tho. When you said to use Cocoa, are you talking about a powdered mix like Swiss-miss? Also how much would you use of the mix? Also, what is the amount of Milk you put in the mug? Do these need to be refrigerated after making? And when I tried melting the Candy Melts, they didn’t melt well at all. They clumped up and the tiny bit that did melt was thick and lumpy. I added some Butter but it still didn’t melt right. I have had this happen several times. I have tried melting in the Microwave, on the stovetop and double boiler with just a little water simmering over low heat and it was a waste of money. Can I use the real Coveture Chocolate to make the shells or do I need something heavier to set up? I want to make these for belated Christmas Gifts. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong with the Compound Chocolate cuz right now, I am frustrated with it. I tried it in the Wilton melting pot again, with no success. And one last question, can you use any kind of Liquor inside the bombs? I think the Kailua would be Awesome. Thanks for the info and video. I love making things for gifts to family and friends even if they are late. I just want them to look nice and shiny. Merry Christmas, JilliBean

[@Areesa]

Thank you! I used (unsweetened) cocoa powder for this, I find the mix too sweet with the add-ins. I used around 12oz of milk for each. Yes they need to be refrigerated. I use compound chocolate, not candy melts...I find a big difference in taste and consistency so stick to that (it's also called melting wafers). If you use couverture chocolate it'll taste great, but you'll need to temper it first. I haven't tried it with liquor but I don't see why not! Hope that helps :)

[@laurenhiggs3906]

I’ve never seen someone use ganache in a chocolate bomb before! Can I ask why you do this? Does it add a better flavour?

[@Areesa]

It does! It gives it a richer and creamier chocolate flavour, especially if you use good quality chocolate.

[@hotdodge181]

They are all so pretty! I love the peppermint one. It looks like a marble, with the swirls 😍. I can't wait to get my molds so I can try making these.

[@sandy6504]

Can list where you get your chocolates from and specific brand? I searched the couverture chocolate and it’s pretty pricey! Thank you 😊

hello! quick question, what if the chocobomb melts very quickly after being removed from the refrigerator?:>

Hi! Either the room is too warm or it’s the type of chocolate you used. Make sure it’s either compound chocolate, candy melts, or properly tempered chocolate. Hope that helps!

[@marcellagoodin4459]

To make it fluid, do you add E Z thin to the candy melts?

No, I only used candy melts for the red swirl. I used compound chocolate for the rest and it doesn't need to be thinned.

Tanx for this beautiful video. I did not have colored chocolate so I bought red liquid color and I added it to my white chocolate but it turned hard and was not usable anymore!! Any idea why??,🤔

Unfortunately you can’t add liquid colour to chocolate because it’s water based. It’s the water in the colour that made it harden 😕
