The fall and winter months call for one of our favorite flavors: Chocolate. There are many ways to enjoy chocolate, and one has started to make its way into our hearts for the holiday season: Chocolate bombs. If you are unaware of these great spheres of flavor, let me help you.
Chocolate bombs, also known as hot chocolate bombs, are chocolate spheres filled with anything from flavored powders to marshmallows or peppermint. They work by pouring hot milk over the sphere, and the chocolate melts, revealing what is inside. Think of it as opening eggs for adults. These chocolate bombs can gift you anything from a peppermint latte to a dark chocolate sea salt mocha. The best part is the decorations outside. Chocolate bombs can come with simple flavor pairing such as caramel and sea salt or elaborate Halloween designs and unicorn drawings with those so famous edible sprinkles.
Chocolate bombs can range from $6 up to $32 each. Yet expect to spend about $8-$11 per, depending on the design and the contents. Note these have not gone mainstream yet, as in dropping in on major department stores, yet it would not be surprising if they did in the next few months.
