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.

Switch Out The Booze

I love a little whiskey in my hot chocolate or coffee, so Fireball was the perfect choice for me. If you aren’t a huge fan, or simply want to try out other alcohol choices, a few ideas you could substitute with are:
