People ask what is the difference between hot cocoa and hot chocolate.

Technically, there is a difference between hot cocoa and hot chocolate.
This is similar to there being a difference between chocolate and cocoa milk.

Both warm beverages are flavored with a chocolate inspired taste.
However, the hot chocolate will be flavored with actual chocolate while the cocoa is flavored with cocoa.
But, when it comes to a cocoa bomb, since the bomb is chocolate, you are really getting the best of both worlds.

You may be wondering how do you use hot cocoa bombs

Really, the hardest part of making this tasty drink is making the bomb.
This is because bomb contains all of the ingredients that are needed to add to the warm milk.

You simply add one bomb to your mug with the warm beverage and stir.

Hot or very warm milk is the preferred beverage.
The warmth of the milk will help to break down the bomb and as a result, release all of that yummy chocolate and cocoa etc.

Tips for making hot cocoa.

The easiest way to get the minty flavoring is to use a mint candy.
For each bomb, add a candy such as one of these, to get that minty chocolate flavor.

More tips for you

1. My bombs have green chocolate drizzled over them for decoration. You can find green melting wafers here to do the same using a piping bag or zip top bag.
2. Using really warm milk to mix with the bomb into is how to make the beverage. While whole milk is preferred, however, you can use most any kind of milk include vegan options.
3. How much warm milk should you use per bomb? For a richer hot chocolate, use one cup (8 ounces). However, using up to 10 ounces will still yield a tasty beverage.

Ingredients needed to make minty hot cocoa bombs.

• Chocolate Chips- 12 ounces (1 package- most packages). You can find sugar free chocolate chips here. Use the chocolate of your choice.
• Hot Cocoa Mix- ⅓ cup. Feel free to add an extra tablespoon or to fit for added flavor. You can find sugar free hot cocoa mix here.

How to make hot cocoa bombs.

Step One: melt the chocolate.

You can melt the chocolate using a microwave-safe bowl to melt it. I suggest that you stop every 30 seconds to stir the chocolate so that it melts evenly.

Option two- use a double boiler method on the stove. Heat the chocolate on low-medium, stirring, until melted.

Option three- follow the directions on the packaging.

Step Two: fill the molds with chocolate.

I like to first place my molds on a rimmed baking sheet that can fit into a freezer.

Carefully, use a pastry brush to paint the inside of each of the molds. Start by placing about 2-3 teaspoons per mold into the bottom of the mold (depending on the size of your molds). Then use the pastry brush to brush the chocolate all the way up to the top of each of the molds. You can add additional chocolate as needed to coat each entire half-sphere.

Transfer the molds to a freezer or refrigerator to harden.

Step Three: fill the bombs.

Once the chocolate has set, you can fill the bombs.

Tip: if the chocolate is not evenly spread inside of the spheres, simply repeat the painting melted chocolate and then setting process until you reach the perfect bomb shell.

Fill half of the hardened chocolate sphered with the cocoa mix and marshmallows. Then place a candy to a candy and a half inside of each mold with the cocoa mix and marshmallows. You can break the candy in half if needed.

Step Four: Finish the bombs

To assemble the bombs, you will need to secure each of the empty chocolate spheres to a filled one.
You can use melted chocolate (you may need to reheat) or frosting to do this. Another option is to heat a plate in the microwave and set the edges of the empty sphere on to the warm plate to slightly melt the edges.

Carefully transfer the bombs to a refrigerator to set (about 10 minutes). Then remove the bombs from their molds and decorate as desired.
