Step 1: Prepare Chocolate Bomb Mixture
In a heavy sauce pan, mix sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups of chocolate chips, peppermint extract and hot chocolate powder. Place on stove top over medium-low heat and melt chocolate together with the other ingredients until thickened. It should be the consistency of fudge. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Mold into balls and freeze
Line a plate or tray with parchment paper. Then, mold hot chocolate bomb mixture into balls and place on parchment lined plate or tray. The mixture should yield about 20 balls. Place chocolate balls in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Step 3: Roll in chocolate and crushed peppermint candies and enjoy!
Melt the remaining cup of chocolate chips and roll the balls in the melted chocolate. Then, roll the balls in the crushed peppermint candies. When you are ready to use them, place the ball in a warm cup of milk, stir and enjoy!
How do I store the Peppermint Hot Chocolate Bombs?
The Peppermint Chocolate Bombs should be stored in a covered container at room temperature away from heat. They will last up to 10 days when properly stored.
