Variations
Gluten-Free Option: Ensure your chocolate and marshmallows are certified gluten-free. Most dark chocolates are naturally gluten-free, but always check the labels!
Vegan Variation: Easy switch-ups here! Use a high-quality dark chocolate that’s dairy-free and fill your bombs with vegan marshmallows. When heating the milk, opt for almond, oat, or soy milk for a creamy result. 🥛🌱
Faq
- What’s the best way to melt chocolate without burning it?
Use a microwave in short 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Alternatively, use a double boiler for more control.
- Do I need to temper the chocolate?
While tempering can give a shinier finish, it's not necessary for this recipe since the chocolate is not being molded into a candy bar.
- Can I use different types of chocolate?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix dark, milk, and even white chocolate for a unique flavor combination.
- What can I add to the hot milk for extra flavor?
Cinnamon, nutmeg, peppermint extract, or even a hint of vanilla can elevate the taste of your drink.
- How far in advance can I make these chocolate bombs?
You can prepare these up to a week in advance if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
- Tips for keeping the chocolate shiny and smooth?
Avoid getting any water in your melted chocolate and ensure your molds are completely dry before use. Also, using high-quality chocolate makes a big difference.
