To make Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate Bombs, gather these key ingredients: - 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate) - 1/2 cup pumpkin puree - 1/4 cup powdered sugar - 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend - 1/4 cup mini marshmallows - 1/4 cup hot cocoa mix - Optional: Extra pumpkin spice for dusting Each ingredient plays a vital role in creating the perfect balance of flavors. The chocolate chips form the outer shell, while pumpkin puree adds a rich, smooth texture. The powdered sugar sweetens the filling, making each sip delightful. The pumpkin spice blend brings warmth and depth, tying everything together. Mini marshmallows add that fun, cozy touch, and hot cocoa mix enhances the chocolaty goodness. Adding extra pumpkin spice on top creates a festive look and boosts flavor. Start by placing 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in 30-second bursts. Stir the chocolate between each interval. Stop when it is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat; this will ruin the chocolate. Next, grab a silicone mold for your hot chocolate bombs. Spoon about a tablespoon of melted chocolate into each mold. Use the back of the spoon to coat the sides evenly. Ensure the walls are thick enough; this will help hold the filling later. Set any leftover chocolate aside for later. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice blend. Mix these ingredients until they are smooth. This will be the delicious filling for your bombs. Once the chocolate has cooled, carefully remove the shells from the mold. Take half of the shells and place them on a plate. Spoon a teaspoon of the pumpkin mixture into each shell. Add a few mini marshmallows and a sprinkle of hot cocoa mix on top. To seal the bombs, warm the edges of the remaining shells. You can do this by placing them on a plate in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. Press these warm halves onto the filled shells to seal them well. For a fun touch, drizzle the leftover melted chocolate on top and dust with extra pumpkin spice. Store your finished hot chocolate bombs in an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place until you’re ready to enjoy them. To serve, drop one into a cup of hot milk and watch it dissolve into a cozy, pumpkin-spiced treat. Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best taste. I like dark or milk chocolate. Each type gives a different flavor. Dark chocolate is rich, and milk chocolate is sweet. Both work well for this recipe. Choose what you enjoy most. To keep your bombs round, use a silicone mold. It makes removing them easy. Ensure the chocolate layer is thick enough. If it is too thin, the bombs may crack. Chill the shells well to help them hold shape. Add extra pumpkin spice for a stronger flavor. You can also mix in a pinch of salt. Salt enhances sweetness and flavor depth. Consider using flavored chocolate chips too, like caramel or cinnamon. These small changes can make a big impact. Do not overheat the chocolate. Heat it in short bursts and stir often. Avoid too much filling; it can cause the bombs to break. Seal the halves well to keep the hot cocoa inside. Lastly, let them chill completely before serving. {{image_2}} If you want to change things up, try new flavors. Here are two fun ideas: - Peppermint Hot Chocolate Bombs: For a minty twist, use peppermint extract. Replace some chocolate with white chocolate. Add crushed candy canes inside for a festive crunch. You'll love the fresh taste! - Caramel Swirl Hot Chocolate Bombs: Drizzle caramel sauce inside the shells. Mix it with the pumpkin filling. This adds sweetness and richness to your drink. It's perfect for those who love caramel. You can easily adapt these bombs to fit your diet. Here are some options: - Vegan Options: Use dairy-free chocolate chips for the shells. Choose a plant-based milk for serving. Replace the powdered sugar with a vegan alternative if needed. You can still enjoy these tasty treats! - Sugar-Free Adjustments: Use sugar-free chocolate chips and a sugar substitute for the filling. Make sure the hot cocoa mix is also sugar-free.

Ingredients
  

1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend

1/4 cup mini marshmallows

1/4 cup hot cocoa mix

Optional: Extra pumpkin spice for dusting

Instructions
 

Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and completely melted. Be cautious not to overheat the chocolate.

    Mold the Shells: Use a silicone mold for chocolate bombs. Spoon about a tablespoon of melted chocolate into each cavity, using the back of the spoon to coat the sides. Ensure the sides are thick enough to hold the filling. Set aside any remaining chocolate.

      Chill the Shells: Place the mold in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes until the chocolate shells are hardened.

        Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, and pumpkin spice blend. Mix until smooth and well combined.

          Assemble the Bombs: Once the chocolate shells are firm, carefully remove them from the molds. Place half of the shells on a plate. Spoon a small amount of the pumpkin mixture into each shell (about a teaspoon), followed by a few mini marshmallows and a sprinkle of hot cocoa mix.

            Seal the Bombs: Using the remaining half of the chocolate shells, warm the edges slightly by placing them on a plate in a microwave for 5-10 seconds (or use a warm pan). Press these halves onto the filled shells to seal.

              Decorate (Optional): Drizzle any leftover melted chocolate over the top and dust with extra pumpkin spice for a festive touch.

                Store or Serve: Place the finished hot chocolate bombs in an airtight container until ready to use. To enjoy, simply drop one into a cup of hot milk and watch it melt!
