How To Make RumChata Hot Chocolate Bombs
Follow along with the Rumchata Hot Chocolate Bombs step-by-step process photos and then find the printable recipe below!
Gather all of the ingredients you will need to make this delicious treat!
For the Hot Chocolate Syrup:
Combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, powdered milk, and RumChata in a small bowl.
Set aside until ready to use.
Recipe Note:
You can substitute the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and powdered milk for ½ cup hot cocoa mix if desired.
For the Hot Chocolate Bombs:
Melt the white chocolate bark according to the package directions.
Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of melted white chocolate into each mold (12 total).
Use a pastry brush to brush the chocolate up the sides of the mold.
Make sure to get a thick layer of chocolate so the hot chocolate bombs don’t break while you handle them.
Place the molds in the fridge to chill until the chocolate has set– about 5 minutes.
Recipe Note:
I highly recommend using chocolate bark but if you’d prefer to use tempered chocolate, it will work in this recipe as well!
Chocolate bark will melt smooth and shiny and harden easily, melted chocolate that has been tempered will not.
Carefully remove the chocolates from the mold and place them on a baking sheet.
Recipe Note:
I recommend using gloves when making the hot chocolate bombs so you don’t leave any fingerprints behind.
Divide the chocolate syrup between 6 of the chocolate cups (about 1 tablespoon in each) and top with mini marshmallows.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until it becomes warm.
Remove the pan from the heat and place one of the unfilled chocolates on the pan.
Hold the chocolate on the pan for 1-2 seconds, or just until the chocolate starts to melt. Be careful not to touch the pan– it’s hot!
Place the warmed chocolate on top of a filled chocolate half and press gently to seal them together.
Repeat with the remaining hot cocoa bombs.
If desired, drizzle the bombs with additional white chocolate and decorate with sprinkles.
To serve, place a hot chocolate bomb in a large mug.
Look at all that goodness in there!
Next, pour hot milk over top.
Stir until the chocolate has fully melted, top with extra mini marshmallows and a cinnamon stick if you wish, and enjoy!
