Kahlua Hot Chocolate Bombs Ingredients
All you need are 4 ingredients to make this hot chocolate bomb recipe:
- 6 tablespoons of Hot Chocolate Mix (hot cocoa powder)
- 7 oz Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers
- 2 shots of Kahlua Liqueur
- Gold Sprinkles (or any color sprinkles to match the occasion)
Instructions
These are a basic hot chocolate bomb recipe with added liquor to turn them into Kahlua hot chocolate bombs. After making a few, you’ll get the hang of it and making them will go by fast!
Here are the step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Put a large plate in the freezer (we’ll use this later in the process)
Step 2: Pour milk chocolate melts into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals. Make sure to stir well between each heat session, continue until fully melted.
Step 3: Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, coat each mold with the melted chocolate. Be sure to spread evenly up the sides of the mold.
Step 4: Place the chocolate molds on a baking sheet then put them in the freezer for 5 minutes. The baking sheet just makes it easier to move the silicone molds in out of the freezer.
Step 5: Remove molds from the freezer and again use a pastry brush or back of a spoon to add a second coat of melted chocolate inside of the mold.
Step 6: Return chocolate covered molds back to the freezer for 5 minutes. This will create a sturdy chocolate shell to stuff with hot cocoa mix.
Step 7: Pour the rest of the melted chocolate into a pastry bag or Ziplock bag. We’ll use this later for decorating the hot chocolate cocoa bombs.
Step 8: Remove the chilled large plate and the chocolate molds from the freezer.
Step 9: Gently push each chocolate sphere out of the mold. Place the empty spheres on the chilled plate.
Step 10: Next, grab a small bowl and stir together Kahlua and hot cocoa mix.
TIP: Mix thoroughly until the powder is mostly dissolved with the Kahlua. The mixture will be grainy, which is fine! The powder will completely dissolve once it’s added to hot milk.
Step 11: Place a small plate in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes. Careful taking it out of the microwave, it’s hot! Make sure to use hot pads.
Step 12: Take one empty chocolate sphere and place it upside down on the heated plate and move around slightly to melt the chocolate edge a bit.
Step 13: Fill this chocolate half sphere with 1.5 tablespoons of the Kahlua and hot chocolate mixture.
Step 14: Place another empty chocolate sphere on the hot plate to slightly melt the edges.
Step 15: Meld the two half spheres together. They should fit well together, but if not, use a little of the excess melted chocolate to seal it.
Step 16: If your bag of remaining melted chocolate needs to be warmed, reheat for 20-30 seconds max.
Step 17: Snip the end off the pasty bag or the corner of the Ziplock bag and drizzle the melted chocolate on top of each hot cocoa bomb in a back and forth design.
Step 18: Top with sprinkles to match your theme or occasion.
Kahlua Hot Cocoa Bombs Variation Ideas:
You can change up the chocolate sphere to your favorite flavors. Use the best chocolate you can find, as the better quality chocolate is easier to melt and makes smooth half spheres.
- Use white chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- Use dark chocolate wafers instead of milk chocolate.
- Use a different liqueur, like these Bailey’s Irish Cream Hot Chocolate Bombs.
How to Store Kahlua Hot Chocolate Bombs
Leftover hot chocolate bombs should be stored in the refrigerator. Simply wrap each one in parchment paper so the chocolate doesn’t stick to the wrapping and place them in an airtight container.
They can set out at room temperature without any issues with melting for a few days, but if you need to keep them longer, it’s best to put them in the fridge.
