Hot chocolate bombs with marshmallows are the cosiest way to drink hot chocolate. You simply pour hot milk over a chocolate bomb filled with marshmallows, a little sugar and cocoa powder, and watch it melt. Even though you need to temper the chocolate and concentrate a little, making these bombs is not as hard as it sounds. It is the perfect project to make with kids.
I made the bombs with 70% dark chocolate, but you can make them with any kind of chocolate. Just be aware that if you use a very light and sweet chocolate, you might not need to add extra sugar inside the bombs. You can also fill the bombs with other treats, such as Nutella, crushed candy canes or other types of chocolate.
Enjoy your hot chocolate with freshly baked soft tea buns. You can also try my homemade hot chocolate mix. Enjoy!

Hot chocolate bombs
Chop the chocolate into small pieces, unless you are using chocolate chips. Put half of the chocolate in a bowl over a bain-marie and let it melt until it reaches 50°C. Put the other half of the chocolate in a separate bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over the chopped chocolate a little at a time, stirring as you go. The chocolate should reach a temperature of 31 to 33°C. Divide the chocolate between half-sphere silicone moulds or plastic half-spheres. You need 8 half-spheres in total. Spread the chocolate well up the sides and turn the mould upside down so the excess chocolate can drip off. Put them in the fridge until the chocolate has set. Carefully release the half-spheres from the mould.
Fill 4 of the half-spheres with sugar, cocoa powder and marshmallows. Take the other half-spheres and place them on the bottom of a warm pan so the edges melt slightly, then place them on top of the filled half-spheres. Keep the hot chocolate bombs in the fridge until serving.
Put a hot chocolate bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it. Stir well and enjoy your hot chocolate. Enjoy!
