Get ready to spice up your winter nights with the Chili Chocolate Hot Bomb! This delightful creation is a blend of rich, smooth dark chocolate infused with a surprise twist of cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Melt it in a cup of hot milk for an adventurous, warming treat that’s sure to excite your taste buds. Perfect for cozying up by the fire or impressing guests with a unique hot chocolate experience.
Start by melting 1 cup of dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
Once melted, stir in 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon into the chocolate.
Using a silicone mold, add a layer of the spiced chocolate to coat the entire mold, approximately 1 tablespoon per cavity, using the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.
Place the mold in the freezer for 5 minutes, then add a second layer of chocolate to ensure solidity, especially at the edges.
Return the mold to the freezer for an additional 10 minutes until the chocolate is fully set and easily pops out from the mold.
Fill half of the chocolate molds with 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix and a few mini marshmallows.
Warm the edges of the empty chocolate molds by placing them on a warm frying pan for a few seconds, then quickly press it against a filled mold to seal it together, creating a complete sphere.
Allow the spheres to set for 10 minutes.
When ready to serve, place a chocolate bomb into a mug, then pour 8 ounces of steaming hot milk over the top. Stir and watch as the bomb dissolves, unveiling its spicy surprise!
Serve immediately, perhaps with an extra pinch of cinnamon on top for added flavor.
