Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bombs

          Today is the big day!  We are publishing our Hot Cocoa Bomb Video Tutorial!  It is available for your viewing pleasure right here on this site, or on Facebook or on YouTube! Take your pick and watch it over and over again if you want.  (I probably will!)  While the tutorial basics are the same as in our picture tutorial that you can find here,   this video also introduces a new flavor of Bomb that we are sure you will all love!  It is Chocolate Strawberry!  At Valentine's Day, one favorite gift is chocolate dipped strawberries, so we thought, why not a Chocolate Strawberry Bomb?  And look how pretty they are with the Wilton iridescent Valentines sprinkles  sitting in those cute cupcake cups. I found mine at Walmart, but there are similar ones here and here. These will definitely be making an appearance on our Valentine's Day breakfast table.  
        Without further ado, here is the video!
        The basics for creating these Strawberry Bombs are the same as you will find on this link, but here are the differences that make this flavor unique.
  • I purchased colored, fruit flavored marshmallows and picked out the strawberry flavored pink ones to put in these Bombs! I am considering making my own marshmallows that are strawberry flavored to use in them.  I found this blog, (Somewhat Simple)  that tells how to do it!  She used real strawberries! That would really enhance the strawberry flavor, but my only concern is that with real fruit in them, the bombs won't keep as long as our normal bombs will keep in the refrigerator.  (They keep a really long time!)  But, if you know that you are going to drink them all right away, this could be really a nice idea! 
  • I used Strawberry Nesquik in conjunction with Chocolate Nesquik to flavor the bombs.  Go heavy on the Strawberry or the Chocolate will overpower it.  I would say heavier than I did in the video.
  • I didn't have any pink Candy Melts, so I mixed red  and white to get pink. So, if you have pink, your color may vary. But, really, they are yours so decorate them however you would like.

I will be telling you about that toile table runner in a later post!
    If you want a hard copy of the directions, You can find the printable version of our Hot Cocoa Bomb Idea Book in our Etsy shop!  It contains many ideas for flavors and for decorating your Hot Cocoa Bombs.  
     Once again, here is a link to the Wilton Molds that we use, here and here.
      For those of you who live in colder climates, Hot Cocoa Bombs are a great way to get cozy and warmed up on a cold winter's night.  For those of us in Phoenix, we have to hurry and take advantage of our cooler mornings and nights for just a little bit longer and get in our Hot Cocoa Bomb fix while we can!  Chocolate Strawberry, or Cherry Cordial are perfect for a cold Valentine's Day morning!  After you watch the marshmallows pop up to the top of the cup, add some more, or whipped cream and sprinkles to make them extra sweetl for this sweetheart of a day!

But don't bite them! Put them in hot milk for hot cocoa!

They are so much fun. When you drop them in they start to bubble. You stir and the marshmallows pop up! Everyone love them. They taste so good, as well.

I have never heard of "bombs" before but watched your video and think they would taste delicious. I love hot chocolate anyway and this would be a great new twist on it. Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty.
