This is the newest it drink of the year. First, we had whipped coffee, now we have hot chocolate bombs, and who knows what will be next (but we’ll be sure to keep you updated.) These hot chocolate bombs are a huge upgrade from the packets of hot cocoa you get in the coffee aisle, and they’re surprisingly simple to make. With the ability to customize the flavors, add-ins, and decorations, you can make these all winter without getting bored.
Not only are hot chocolate bombs a fun activity to make for yourself or with the kids, but they make a great gift too! Put together a mug, some hot cocoa bombs, and maybe a batch of homemade cookies to go along with it (plus a mini bottle of Bailey’s or peppermint schnapps if the recipient is 21+) for a thoughtful, homemade gift that your loved ones will actually enjoy.
If you plan on following Devin’s hot chocolate bomb recipe below, please let us know! Snap a pic, or better yet a super satisfying video of the bomb melting in your cup, and share with us on our Safe at Home Facebook Group.
