There is also chocolate called <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/36joVqH\">couverture chocolate<\/a> which is formulated to be easy to melt and set.<\/p>\n<h2>How can I tell if my chocolate is high quality?<\/h2>\n<p>Take a look at the ingredients. You\u2019ll want a chocolate with 65% or more cocoa. The cocoa percentage that you see on chocolate packaging tells you how much of the chocolate is made from actual cocoa beans. Your chocolate should also have cocoa butter in it, which creates the melting quality of chocolate. Couverture chocolate (as I mentioned above) has a high percentage of cocoa butter, which is why it melts smoothly making it an excellent chocolate for making hot chocolate bombs.<\/p>\n<h2>Help!

If you don\u2019t temper chocolate properly, it will melt at room temperature, it doesn\u2019t really hold it\u2019s shape, and it\u2019s as shiny. Here\u2019s how to temper chocolate.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Chop your chocolate.<\/strong> Chopping up your chocolate with a knife makes sure all the pieces are small &#8211; smaller pieces means it melts more evenly. If you get couverture chocolate, it will come in wafers, you don\u2019t need to chop this.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Put the chocolate in a heat safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds.<\/strong> It won\u2019t look melted but don\u2019t put it in for any longer! Use a rubber spatula to move the pieces of chocolate around. Some of the chocolate will be more melty and you\u2019re going to use that heat to help melt the rest of the chocolate. Once you\u2019ve stirred, it\u2019s time to put it back in the microwave.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Microwave the bowl again for 15 seconds, then remove and stir from the outside in.<\/strong> The outside pieces of chocolate will be more melted than the inside. Use the heat from the outside chocolate to help melt the pieces in the middle. If you have an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3oQrQPQ\">instant read thermometer<\/a>, check to see if your chocolate is between 88-90\u00b0F. That is the ideal range for tempering chocolate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If your chocolate isn\u2019t smooth yet, microwave it again for 15 seconds and stir.<\/strong> Keep stirring until all the chocolate is melted and smooth. It\u2019s best to underheat the chocolate because the residual heat from the bowl and the rest of the chocolate will help you will the melting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spoon a bit of your smooth tempered chocolate onto a piece of parchment and put it in the fridge for 5 minutes.<\/strong> If it looks shiny and snaps when you break it in half, your chocolate has been tempered properly!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><picture class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35849 sp-no-webp\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hot-chocolate-bombs-8489.webp 1450w,https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hot-chocolate-bombs-8489-600x401.webp 600w,https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hot-chocolate-bombs-8489-1024x684.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1450px) 100vw, 1450px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hot-chocolate-bombs-8489.jpg 1450w, https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hot-chocolate-bombs-8489-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hot-chocolate-bombs-8489-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1450px) 100vw, 1450px\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hot-chocolate-bombs-8489.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35849 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"snowman hot chocolate bombs | www.iamafoodblog.com\" height=\"968\" width=\"1450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hot-chocolate-bombs-8489.jpg 1450w, https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hot-chocolate-bombs-8489-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hot-chocolate-bombs-8489-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1450px) 100vw, 1450px\"><\/picture><\/p>\n<h2>What if I heated up my chocolate too much?<\/h2>\n<p>If your chocolate is bendy and doesn\u2019t snap when you do the test in the fridge, it\u2019s okay! Just add some more chopped chocolate to the bowl with your melted chocolate and stir it until it melts. Aim for 90\u00b0F and then do the fridge and snap test again.<\/p>\n<h2>How to temper chocolate on the stove\/How to temper chocolate without a microwave<\/h2>\n<p>To temper chocolate on the stove:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Chop<\/strong> your chocolate into small pieces<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make<\/strong> a double boiler by placing a heat proof bowl on top of a small pot. Fill the pot with just an inch or two of water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Turn the heat on to low.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add<\/strong> 2\/3 of chopped chocolate to the bowl and stir, while the steam from the simmering water melts the chocolate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When<\/strong> the chocolate is smooth and melted, carefully remove it from the double boiler and stir in the remaining chocolate.

If you temper the chocolate properly (read the chocolate tempering tricks), you can make hot chocolate bombs well in advance.<\/p>\n<h2>How long do hot chocolate bombs last for?<\/h2>\n<p>All the ingredients in hot chocolate bombs are shelf stable and they will keep, if tempered properly, on the countertop almost indefinitely, if they last that long. Think of them like a chocolate bar \u2013 chocolate bars last a really long time!<\/p>\n<h2>How to store hot chocolate bombs<\/h2>\n<p>The best way to store hot chocolate bombs, after they have been made is at room temp in an air tight container.<\/p>\n<h2>Hot chocolate bomb flavors<\/h2>\n<p>I love hot chocolate bombs because you can go wild with the flavors. Try these ones!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Oreo<\/strong> &#8211; place some crushed up oreos inside and on the outside for decoration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>S\u2019mores<\/strong> &#8211; crush some graham crackers for inside the bomb and on top for decoration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peppermint<\/strong> &#8211; crush up some peppermint candies for inside the bomb and on top for decoration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pumpkin<\/strong> &#8211; put a teaspoon of pumpkin spice in with the hot chocolate mix and sprinkle some on top.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coffee<\/strong> &#8211; add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the inside of the bomb.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark chocolate sea salt<\/strong> &#8211; sprinkle on some flaky sea salt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t overheat the chocolate! Take your time and microwave in 15 second intervals.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you have enough chocolate on the edges of your mold so the molds don\u2019t break when you take them out.<\/li>\n<li>If you need to, add more chocolate to the edges then let set again.<\/li>\n<li>Use food safe gloves while you\u2019re assembling so you don\u2019t accidentally melt the outsides or leave fingerprints on your hot chocolate bombs.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your place cold or run your hands under cold water for a while, the heat of your hands will make the chocolate melt.<\/li>\n<li>Be gentle when sealing the bombs together, don\u2019t push too hard.<\/li>\n<li>Use your (gloved) finger to gently rub along the seam where the two halves come together to smooth it out.<\/li>\n<li>To store the hot chocolate bombs, keep them in an air tight container in a cool spot in your kitchen or in the fridge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><picture class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34952 sp-no-webp\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hot-chocolate-bombs-7603.webp 1450w,https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hot-chocolate-bombs-7603-600x401.webp 600w,https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hot-chocolate-bombs-7603-1024x684.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1450px) 100vw, 1450px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hot-chocolate-bombs-7603.jpg 1450w, https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hot-chocolate-bombs-7603-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hot-chocolate-bombs-7603-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1450px) 100vw, 1450px\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hot-chocolate-bombs-7603.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34952 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"hot chocolate bombs | www.iamafoodblog.com\" height=\"968\" width=\"1450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hot-chocolate-bombs-7603.jpg 1450w, https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hot-chocolate-bombs-7603-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hot-chocolate-bombs-7603-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1450px) 100vw, 1450px\"><\/picture><\/p>\n<h2>Even more tips!<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re having problems with your spheres breaking or not releasing, I have even more tips!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clean your mold.<\/strong> Use a paper towel and make sure the inside of your silicone mold is nice and shiny.

The outside of the bomb melts down and adds a HUGE chocolate hit. You can also add hot chocolate instead of milk to melt your hot chocolate bomb if you want a double hot chocolate!<\/p>\n<h2>How to temper chocolate<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Quick and easy tempered chocolate via the seeding method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tempered chocolate is what you want for hot chocolate bombs &#8211; it\u2019s what will make them shelf stable with a shiny finish and a consistent snap. I\u2019ve mentioned several other ways to temper chocolate in this post, but if you\u2019re still having trouble, this is a foolproof way called \u201cseeding\u201d that doesn\u2019t need a thermometer.<\/p>\n<p>First, melt two thirds of your chocolate, either in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, or in the microwave for 30 seconds. Melt the chocolate completely but don\u2019t burn it &#8211; the chocolate shouldn\u2019t be hot on your fingertip. Stir the melted chocolate and add the remaining chocolate into the warm chocolate in three batches, stirring completely after each addition. Continue stirring until the chocolate is smooth and shiny. Test by swooshing a bit of chocolate on a piece of parchment paper &#8211; it should start to set immediately. If it doesn\u2019t, add a bit more solid chocolate to your melted chocolate bowl until it sets when you test it.<\/p>\n<h2>My recommended chocolate for hot chocolate bombs<\/h2>\n<p>I like using <a
