Prep Time: 45 Minutes
Yield: 4 Hot Chocolate Bombs

Ingredients:

• 1 Package Pascha 85% Cacao Organic Bitter-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips

• Vegan Milk

Tools:

• Candy Thermometer

• Food-Safe Paintbrush or Small Spoon

Directions:

• Melt two thirds of the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over medium high heat until it reaches 105ºF.
• Remove the bowl from the double boiler and stir in the remaining third of the chocolate.
• Continue to stir until the chocolate cools to 85ºF.
• Pour the melted chocolate into the sphere cavities.
• With a food-safe paintbrush or small spoon coat the entire sphere mold with chocolate. Make sure you get the sides well.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
• Gently remove the chocolate spheres from the mold.
• Place a sphere in a cupcake liner or tin and fill with a scoop of vegan hot cocoa mix, marshmallows, and sprinkles.
• With a warm pan or plate, melt the other chocolate sphere rim ever so slightly.
• Place the two chocolate spheres together and press gently to set.
• Top with a drizzle of extra melted chocolate and festive sprinkles if desired.
• To serve, place the hot cocoa bomb in a large mug and pour very hot vegan milk over top. Stir to melt the hot cocoa bomb and watch it “explode.” Enjoy!

Note: Make your own hot cocoa mix by combining 1 cup of Pascha 100% Natural Organic Cocoa Powder and 1 cup of organic coconut or cane sugar in a blender until smooth. Hot cocoa bombs can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
