Baileys Hot Chocolate Bombe, 130g

Product Information

Place the Bailey's Chocolate Chips in a heat-proof bowl and pour the hot Bailey's over the baking chips. Milk Chocolate: Contains a combination of cocoa solids, milk solids, and sugar, giving it a sweeter and creamier taste; Use the magic ratio, then adjust as needed. The ratio we like is 1 cup hot chocolate to 1 ounce Baileys. Of course, you can always add more! Combining the smooth and creamy taste of hot chocolate with a hint of the bold flavor of Irish whiskey either on its own or as an Irish cream, these delicious bombs provide an indulgent flavor experience that everyone can enjoy.

Asda's hot chocolate bomb wasn't a sphere like the rest so far, but it does exactly the same thing but all in the shape of a reindeer. Toppings: Decorate the chocolate bombs with chocolate sprinkles, drizzled chocolate, crushed peppermint candies or candy canes, chopped nuts, small chocolate candies, crushed chocolate wafers, or festive holiday sprinkles. Just use melted chocolate as glue. A hot chocolate bomb is a hollow sphere, made of chocolate, filled with hot cocoa mix, marshmallows and other flavorings.Let’s prepare the ganache: chop the chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. In a saucepan, heat the cream until it comes to a simmer, then pour it over the chocolate. Cover the bowl with some cling film or foil and let it rest for 5 minutes without mixing. After the 5 minutes have passed, remove the film and whisk gently until all the chocolate has melted, then add the Baileys and combine. Set the ganache aside to rest until you are ready to use it.

Long gone are the days of mixing hot chocolate powder with milk before popping it all into the microwave, which, if you ask me, sounds so much more inconvenient. Milk Chocolate Chips: Milk chocolate creates a creamy hot cocoa. If you prefer a dark, intense cocoa, swap with more dark chocolate chips. Candy melts can be used (and don’t require tempering – just melting) but they will change the flavor of the hot chocolate bomb. My daughter and her friends loved the flavor of our pink hot chocolate bombs made with pink candy melts, so it really comes down to personal taste preferences.Hot chocolate bombs are really popular right now and the latest trend to join the scene is Irish whiskey hot chocolate bombs. The chocolate was frothy, creamy and velvety smooth - just what I look for in hot chocolates. It was also rich in flavour and came with a nice deep colour, nothing like those insipid watery ones you can occasionally get.

Overall, beautifully decorated, but a little disappointing on flavour, although dark chocolate fans may love this one. Read More Related Articles

Drizzle remaining melted chocolate over the hot chocolate bombs and sprinkle with green sugar crystals.

Melt Dark Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth. (This is the easy way to get the ganache made, without needing a double boiler!)

Where to buy hot chocolate bombes:

Melt the other side of the bombs rim and then place evenly with the other side. Hold together until they set into a ball. Enjoy: To serve, place a hot cocoa bomb in your favorite mug, then pour one cup of hot milk over it. (Or, dunk it into a glass of hot milk!) Place a skillet over low heat. (Alternatively, you can place a heatproof plate over a pot of boiled water.)
