Should I refrigerate my hot chocolate bombs?

Depending on where you store them, a hot chocolate bomb made with a hot cocoa mix can last up to eight weeks. The best way to keep them fresh is to keep them at room temperature.

Why do my hot chocolate bombs keep melting?

If you don’t temper chocolate properly, it will melt at room temperature, lose its shape, and become glistening. This video will show you how to temper chocolate. Chop your chocolate into small pieces. By chopping the chocolate with a knife, you can ensure that all of the bits are small and that it melts evenly.

How do you store homemade chocolate bombs?

After the bombs have firm, insert them in cupcake liners one by one. You can put them in plastic containers once they’re in the cupcake liners. After you’ve put them in the plastic containers, you may put them in a gift bag or keep them on the counter until you’re ready to use them.

How to make bunny butt hot cocoa bombs?

It’s time to put this recipe together now that you’ve gathered all of your ingredients. Follow the steps outlined below.

First, place white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave according to package directions.

Second, place 1 tbsp of candy melt in a mold and press the chocolate up the edges of the mold with the bottom of your tablespoon measuring spoon, keeping it thick but even. Repeat with the remaining 12 bomb molds.

Freeze the chocolate-filled bomb molds for 5 minutes before using.

Then remove the molds from the freezer and pull them away from the chocolate with care.

For about 10 seconds, press one of the empty chocolate bomb halves open-side-down onto the flat portion of the heating plate. This will softly melt the chocolate cup’s rim.

Next, place this hot edge chocolate cup on top of one of the filled cups right away. The two sides of the hot cocoa bomb will be joined together with this.

Drizzle the tiniest amount of chocolate over the center of the mold with a piping bag or a fork, then place the bunny tail there. Drizzle a small bit of chocolate about 1 inch lower and to either side, and use this to secure the bunny feet.

To make the hot cocoa bombs set, place them in the freezer for 5 minutes, then remove and keep in an airtight container until ready to use.
