Hot Chocolate Bombs with Pumpkin Spice

Pro Tips for Perfect Hot Chocolate Bombs

• Use High-Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the flavor of your hot chocolate bomb. Choose a chocolate with a high cocoa percentage for a rich, smooth taste.
• Don’t Rush the Setting Process: Let the chocolate layers set properly before filling or sealing. If they’re too soft, your bombs may fall apart.
• Seal Carefully: The key to a perfectly sealed bomb is a warm plate. This ensures the chocolate halves melt slightly and bond together smoothly without breaking.
• Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be afraid to get creative with your fillings! Try adding caramel, toffee bits, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
