How to Make Fireball Hot Chocolate Bombs
Whiskey is a perfect choice for winter, and this easy recipe for Hot Chocolate Bombs will give you enough to share!
Ingredients:
- 7 oz milk chocolate melting wafers
- 6 tbsp hot cocoa mix
- 2 shots (or 2 mini 50ml bottles) of Fireball Whiskey
- Red jimmies
- Gold sprinkle mix
Hot Chocolate Bomb Instructions:
- Place a large plate into the freezer. In a microwave safe bowl, heat chocolate wafers on high in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each heat session, until fully melted. Drop a spoonful of melted chocolate into each mold cavity. Using a spoon or pastry brush, spread chocolate around the entire mold cavity, making sure to get up the sides. Freeze for 5 minutes. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with a second coat of chocolate, then freeze for an additional 5 minutes.
- Mix Fireball Whiskey and hot cocoa mix, and stir well. Pour remaining melted chocolate into the pastry bag or ziplock bag and snip off the very end with scissors.
- Remove large plate and chocolate filled mold from the freezer. Remove spheres from mold and set on the chilled plate. Heat small plate for 2 minutes in the microwave.
- Fill 6 of the chocolate half spheres with Fireball/cocoa mixture. Place an empty half sphere upside down on warm plate and move around slightly to melt the edge. Attach to Fireball/cocoa filled chocolate half sphere. Seal the seam with a layer of piped chocolate.
- Drizzle chocolate in back and forth motion on top of cocoa bombs and add sprinkles. Refrigerate and use within a couple of days. To use, place in mug and pur 6 oz of hot water or milk over and stir well, then drink.
Tips for Making Boozy Hot Chocolate Bombs:
You definitely want to use chocolate bars/wafers over using chocolate chips when making hot cocoa bombs. They melt better and make it easier to handle and remove from the spheres.
The longer you work with the chocolate, the more the chocolate will soften from the heat from your hands. Try to touch the bombs as little as possible.
