Yield 6 cocoa bombs
Pick between three cocoa bomb flavors, or try them all!
Special equipment: You'll need a round (semi-sphere) silicone mold.
Caramel Cinnamon Bomb
S'mores Bomb
Matcha Sprinkle Bomb
Place 8 oz. of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until the chocolate is melted, but not too hot to touch. Mix the remaining chocolate in, a bit at a time, until it's completely melted and about body temperature. Put a small swipe of chocolate on a piece of parchment paper to make sure it sets. If not, add in more chocolate.
Drop 1 Tablespoon of chocolate into each silicone mold and brush the chocolate up the sides and slightly over the top edge. Scrape the top edge of the mold with a metal spatula to ensure each half has a flat edge. Let sit at room temperature until hardened, about 10 minutes. Brush each mold with another 1 Tablespoon chocolate to thicken the outer coating; let cool again.
Into half the mold, place either:
Heat a nonstick pan to medium-low. Gently release an unfilled half and place the empty side down in the pan to just melt the edge, then place it on top of the filled halves to form a sphere. If you're having trouble sealing the edge, use the back side of the spoon to lightly melt the part of the seal that needs reinforcement. Let harden for about 20 minutes. When cooled, add the optional garnishes:
To use the cocoa bombs, heat 1 cup of milk or non-dairy substitute until very hot. Add the milk to a mug, then gently add the cocoa bomb and enjoy!
*Dairy-free Caramel
In a saucepan, mix together honey, coconut cream, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and let boil for 2-3 minutes.
