If you’ve been spending some time on Foodie Instagram or TikTok lately, you may have seen something advertised as hot cocoa bombs by chocolate makers and candy stores.
It’s a delightfully sweet treat that consists of a hollow chocolate ball filled with mini marshmallows and (sometimes) other candies, chocolate chips, and hot chocolate mix. If you put the hot cocoa bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it, the bomb with marshmallows will explode, creating a decadent hot cocoa drink.
Just look at how satisfying it is!
There are a few local places in and around Pittsburgh where you can buy Hot Cocoa Bombs – and they are also available at select Costo stores.
