If you’ve never tried a hot chocolate bomb, then you’re missing out.
Hot chocolate or hot cocoa bombs are small balls of cocoa (and maybe mini marshmallows) surrounded by quality chocolate. They’re usually formed into the shape of a ball and then decorated with sprinkles or other decorations.
When you drop that ball into a mug and then pour hot milk over it, the results are delicious.
