Thanks for teaching us the difference between natural and dutch cocoa powder. That is amazing how the chocolate came out of the mold so easily. Oo and you are doing white chocolate too. So elegant...I love how you made these. You have some mad mad skills in decorating them. wow.

What a spectacular and beautiful presentation on those hot chocolate bombs. Great tip on the Dutch cocoa powder that it melts easier in hot liquids. Maybe I would add salted caramel bites in the center of those chocolate bombs

I would have to replace the coco with sugar or some other replacement due to my allergy, but this was really helpful!

[@daphneraven6745]

Yukins Tentai: if you go up the conversation a little ways, you’ll find that Christine Vogt-Klimshuk provided a nice response to my request; She provided a couple of excellent solutions that use no cocoa. My mother can’t have caffrine, which is in cocoa, so I was wondering if carob could be worked into this. In terms of filling, a person could use Carob instead of cocoa powder, and instead of using chocolate which is made of cocoa, she has a solution for making shells from butterscotch chips mixed with a non-dairy powder, or alternatively, white chocolate. You might find it to be well worth your read. In the meantime, I noticed that your comment is a year old. Have you made a version of this that works for you, with no Coco? And if so, would you mind describing what you did, please?

What temperature are you melting the chocolate to? I've heard to add 1t of oil to help with the viscosity of the chocolate.

Where can we purchase that polycarbonate sphere mold? You molds were so perfect and thick, smooth and shiny. Just absolutely perfect.

[@BiteandChiu]

Thank you very much! I have a link for the polycarbonate mould as well as the chocolate scraper I used in the description.

[@daphneraven6745]

Bite And Chiu: I’ve only seen your bombs idea for the first time tonight. I’d love to be able to make these in carob, as my mother cannot have chocolate. She always adored it, and I think she’d appreciate these. Do you have a technique for that, please?

[@utran88]

So pretty! Could you link the piping bag you used to decorate? I've been using sandwhich bags but they're not the best and sometimes hard to work with. Thank you!

[@BiteandChiu]

Thank you! Here is a link to my Halloween chocolate video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6emiYqln9KUrK8 I detail the steps in making the paper cornette or piping bag both left-handed and right-handed method. I prefer to use paper cornettes for decorating with chocolate as it's easier to handle. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the vid... question, how would you store these and how long can they be kept for?

[@BiteandChiu]

Great question! Store them in an airtight container, away from light at room temperature. They will last for a few weeks as it's just chocolate and cocoa powder. If anything the marshmallows will get stale first. Thanks for watching.

[@akv2831]

Thank you!🥰

[@silkemueller1391]

im having an issue with the mini hot chocolate bombs not having the flavor. Its for example only light peppermint, light caramel, light amaretto, light cinnamon. Only coffe is really tastable. Any tricks on that? I also feel that the small bombs taste good with 6oz as more is deluting the flavor even more. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@christinevogt-klimshuk2461]

I have never seen hot chocolate bombs before and I thought these were extraordinary! What an enchanting gift or special after dinner treat with family! I used to make filled chocolates and loved it. I haven’t done it for a while and was looking for something different! This was amazing! I plan to play with this idea soon! Here is a problem I have yet to lick. I’m trying to find a way to use carob in something like this with a diabetic friendly sugar substitute. As of yet, I haven’t found a way to get the carob to work like this. Any ideas? I have a number of friends and family who would love something like this in a form they could enjoy.

[@BiteandChiu]

Thank you! That's a great question. I haven't used carob but I'm assuming you tried to use carob chips for the job and the carob was too think to coat? If this is the case you may consider adding cocoa butter to the melted carob and temper the cocoa butter within it to achieve a shell. If you can give me more information on your results and experience I may be able to offer more insight.

[@christinevogt-klimshuk2461]

@@BiteandChiu I tried paramount crystals so far with chocolate but the carob needed more than I usually use in regular chocolate. It was terribly waxy. I figured I must have done it incorrectly. I haven’t tried cocoa butter. It surely couldn’t hurt! I will see if I can give it a try soon! I’d love to have something tasty all my family and friends can enjoy! Thank you for replying!

[@daphneraven6745]

@@christinevogt-klimshuk2461 : I’m wondering if you mastered the technique with carob; my mom has an arrhythmia that’s normally controlled with vitamin K2, but caffeine throws it out of whack. So we use carob instead for her. So far, black bean brownies are her favourite, baked in muffin top tins. It would be so nice to be able to make these for her.

[@christinevogt-klimshuk2461]

@@daphneraven6745 I have not. I found sugar free chocolate that works for my purposes. I’m still looking at the carob though. HOWEVER, I used butterscotch chips to make some bombs with dairy free powdered creamer and butterscotch pudding mix mixed together inside. I also drizzled my butterscotch “chocolate “ inside the top so I could stick my marshmallows inside and I didn’t have to fight with them when I was putting the top on. I could put more in that way too! I turned it into a Harry. Potter Butter Beer inspiration sort of (for a friend) and it was fantastic! I used the white chocolate for some as well with French vanilla pudding mix. Using the LORAN Oils you can flavor the (white) chocolate any way you like. I was wondering if they have a chocolate flavored oil that would work with the white chocolate for your mom. Just a thought! Let me know how it goes!

[@daphneraven6745]

@@christinevogt-klimshuk2461 : Thanks for responding. Mom does like butterscotch, and carob And other ingredients could be put inside the bomb. That would solve the problem. It would also be downright decadent. Tyvk for sharing that solution. I’m not so concerned about sugar content. She hasn’t been a diabetic for a long time now, and can process sugar normally; it’s an arrhythmia that she has, and although it can normally be controlled just fine with 50 mg of vitamin K2 daily, or 100 mg every other day, there are a few things that can knock her literal rhythm out of balance, one of which is caffeine. That’s the reason for which I was looking to go with carob instead of chocolate. She’s also got autoimmune problems that have interfered with her ability to process dairy, but I think we can work with the ideas that you gave to either come up with a version of white chocolate that’s dairy free, or a version of butterscotch that will do a nice job. It occurs to me that a different form might be possible, of the variety that person might normally use for a tea version, using a sugar shell that could contain the carob ingredients. All the same, it’s hard to compare with the look of the opaque, chocolate type shell has in this video. If you have a recipe, video, or blog with your versions of the recipes, I’d sure appreciate a link to them. Thanks again! :D

Can the excess chocolate from the initial pour be reused?

Absolutely! I have quite a few videos utilizing chocolate. In the holiday spirit I recommend this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enTRgmyIo5ulfs0

[@sarahcorley9872]

I tried this with the mold you listed for those of us in the US. I cannot get the chocolate out and now have a bunch of cocoa mix and nothing to put it in for what was supposed to be a birthday present. Did you spray or oil your mold?

[@BiteandChiu]

Hi Sarah, thanks for watching and giving the recipe a try. Spraying the moulds is not a step involved when using tempered couverture chocolate. I invite you to watch my video on How to Crystallize Chocolate? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKHcmHR4iqZ1m9U as I explain the steps in crystallizing chocolate as well what signs to look for in a successfully crystallized sample at 1:56. Crystallizing or tempering chocolate does take practice and a doing the paper test will help to indicate if your chocolate is well crystallized. There are other possible factors that prevented your chocolate from removing easily from the mould, such as the duration of setting time and temperature of the cooling environment. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

[@zelousfoxtrot3390]

Now I'm wondering if I can ask my SIL for the Cake-pop mold I bought her two years ago back. I got the feeling she never used it, and maybe if I sent her some of these as trade?

Great question. Chocolate bombs with powder cocoa mix keeps well at cool room temperature for over a month. Keep it stored in an airtight container, away from direct light and strong odours. Chocolate that has properly been tempered/crystalized is very stable.

Forgive me, what is the name of the dark chocolate you are using to make the shell, thank you
