‘Tis the season for hot chocolate, and an especially decadent version of everyone’s favorite holiday drink (suck it, cider) is exploding on TikTok and in suburban communities across the country. A basic-bitch packet of Swiss Miss mix just can’t compete with the visually compelling and viral glory of hot chocolate bombs.
For the unfamiliar, hot chocolate bombs, or glossy chocolate orbs filled with cocoa mix, marshmallows, sprinkles, and other edible baubles, are a truly over-the-top way to level up your cocoa game. Once plopped inside a mug full of warm milk, the bombs open up in dramatic fashion, revealing the goodies inside and creating a decadent cup of hot cocoa once stirred together.
