Get ready for a festive way to celebrate the holidays this year! Cozy up with these Peppermint Hot Chocolate Balls that you can dunk into your milk for a flavorful, easy to make hot cocoa drink! They are made with just a few simple ingredients including: sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, hot chocolate powder, peppermint extract and peppermint candies.
Mix sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, peppermint extract and hot chocolate in a heavy sauce pan.
Heat on medium-low until chocolate mixture is melted and thickened. The mixture should not be runny, it should be the consistency of fudge.
Let cool for 20 minutes.
Mold into balls and place on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. Place chocolate balls into the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up so that they are easier to roll in the chocolate.
Melt remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips and roll the balls in the chocolate. Then, roll the balls into the crushed peppermint candies
When you are ready to use, place peppermint chocolate bomb in a cup of warm milk, stir and enjoy!
