Hot Cocoa Bombs – or Hot Chocolate Bombs – have become so popular, and I’ve so excited to share another recipe! This time, we have white chocolate hot cocoa bombs – and they’re perfect for winter!
What are hot cocoa bombs?
They are like truffles, but they’re filled with hot cocoa powder and often marshmallows. You put one in a mug, then pour hot milk over it, and watch it “explode” as the chocolate melts and your milk turns into hot chocolate.
They’re super easy to make too!
Here’s my recipe:
