- I like to use Ghirardelli premium white chocolate chips for pumpkin spice hot chocolate bombs. Any high quality brand of couverture chocolate will work.
- Also, I like to melt the white chocolate chips over the stove with water in a pot and the bowl of chocolate chips over the pot.
- Take a big scoop, a tablespoon full of melted white chocolate into the silicone mold and spread around the dome shaped mold.
- You can do a thin layer first and let it harden a little bit and apply another layer.
- Remember do not make it too thin because it will break easily.
- After that, put the mold with the chocolate into the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
- If you don’t want any fingerprints on the chocolate balls, I suggest wearing plastic gloves and working on them.
- Then, remove the chocolate from the mold after freezing.
- The edges are not pretty and smooth; therefore, put a plate in the microwave and warm it up for 1-2 minutes. Put the dome shaped chocolate on the warm/ hot plate to smoothen the edges a little bit. Don’t need to put too long, just smooth it a little bit.
- After, put 1.5-2 tablespoons of pumpkin spice hot cocoa mix into the dome shaped chocolate and add 10-12 small marshmallows.
- Take the other dome shaped chocolate and smoothen the edges on the warm plate and put over the other half of chocolate immediately.
- If there is some chocolate around the edges, use a finger to move around the chocolate ball.
For the topping decoration:
- Melt the white chocolate chips over the stove.
- Remember don’t drizzle the white chocolate over the balls when the melted chocolate is hot. Wait for 5-10 minutes, when it’s not hot. However, it is not too long before the melted chocolate becomes hardened again. If it is hardened, melt the chocolate again.
- Lastly, sprinkle some orange sugar sprinkles over the top of white chocolate.
- If you want to have a nicer and even decorated chocolate line over the balls, you can pipe the melted chocolate on the balls.
FAQs:
I use this kind of silicone mold because it is easy to remove from the mold. It is around 11.2” x 6.5” x 1.37”.
The diameter of the ball is around 2.5 inches.
I like to use couverture chocolate for hot chocolate bombs recipe because it is a high-quality chocolate that contains a higher percentage of cocoa butter (32–39%) than regular baking or eating chocolate.
In addition, couverture chocolate is a higher percentage of cocoa butter and combined with proper tempering. Therefore, it gives the chocolate more sheen, a firmer "snap" when broken and a creamy mellow flavor. Often it is used by professionals for dipping, coating, molding and garnishing. Since, couverture chocolate has a higher ratio of cocoa butter to cocoa, which helps melting smoothly.
Besides, I like to use Ghirardelli brand of white chocolate chips for this homemade pumpkin spice hot chocolate bombs. Or, any couverture chocolate brands will work.
You can melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave. Or, over the stove that fills a pot with 1-2 cups of water. Place on stovetop and turn on medium small fire. Place a heat-safe bowl on top of the pot. Then, put the chocolate chips in the bowl and mix until the chocolate melts consistently. (It is around 2 to 3 minutes.)
Regular grocery stores should have them. I like to use Stephen’s brand pumpkin spice hot cocoa mix.
Store them in the ziplock bag or container with a cover and put them in a shaded and cool area. It can last for months.
