Christmas Hot Chocolate Bombs
Santa Claus will be coming to town soon s why not leave him a new treat? Instead of just Milk and Cookies leave him a hot chocolate bomb! He will definitely enjoy this treat on Christmas Eve! These are SO much fun to make and the kids will really enjoying being your helper! I used 3 1/8 inch for my jumbo bombs. You can find 3d molds here! I also bought a smaller size here. These are 2 1/2 inch. The Merckens chocolate disks taste fabulous and can be found here. You can use real chocolate too if you prefer but it would need to be tempered first. Not only are these perfect for Santa, but they make great gifts for friends and family. You can wrap them in cello and bags and they will last a few weeks! These are going to be fun to enjoy on the first snowy day this year!
To make Rudolph’s antlers, I piped melted chocolate onto parchment paper. Set in freezer and peel off. To attach, melt a dab of chocolate and hold antler in place until it harden. Attach 2 candy eyes and an M & M nose!
For the candy cane bombs below I used these 3 1/8 inch molds.
