Hi Amy - these look perfect!! Thanks for the tip about double lining the moulds with chocolate. I'm going to make the bombs, but have idea to fill these with icecream and caramel sauce to have as a dessert. Can't wait!!
I enjoyed watching your video, you are so down to earth and really made it seem easy to do....I almost felt like I was sitting across the counter watching you create these fabulous bombs! I think your demonstration was the best I’ve actually seen, I can’t wait to make these for my grandchildren! Thank you for sharing and giving me the yearning to try! ☺️👍🏼💕
I noticed small gaps in the seal. Do you have a tip for sealing them after you put the halves together. Last year I tried smearing melted chocolate to seal them but it didn't look very attractive. Do you have a tip?
I made these on my own method, and there were so many holes in the sides 😩 I was using a big spoon and they were almost solid blocks of chocolate at the bottom but super fragile at the top doing things with a pastry brush and multiple layers is a very clever way of doing it thanks! I filled mine with a chocolate ganache, crushed cookies, coffee, and nutella. Getting creative with all this is the best part of doing home made
How do you avoid getting fingerprints all over the spheres?! Mine turned out messy. I used luster dust in the mold 1st. Some were beautiful and some showed fingerprints. I even used surgical gloves. 😕☹️
if you have fingerprints that could be either 1) ur using chocolate chips instead of candy melts or almond bark and you didn't temper the chocolate, 2) it's warm in your area so it's beginning to melt 3) the cocoa bomb itself isn't cold anymore. Most likely from the first reason. I use chocolate chips but i temper the chocolate so i can get that perfect snap! plus, it tastes way better than the latter
Saw your IG post and decided "I also subscribe to her TH-cam channel". So, I decided to give it a try using your video. Turned out PERFECTLY! Now my daughter and friends want me to make more. LOL!
My mold came last night and I tried making some. They were okay but I didn't get the chocolate thick enough and I just used chocolate chips so they were extra melty. I'm excited to try your tips.
You put all the chocolate you’re going to use the microwave safe dish and microwave for 30 second intervals staring at each 30 second intervals until melted and liquidy. If it doesn’t get liquidy enough at the end, put about a teaspoon of Crisco shortening in the chocolate and steroid around good and it will make it more liquidy
I have seen a lot of people use gold luster dust to coat the outside to make it look super nice and shiny! Or you can take a little bit of luster dust and add a little bit of vodka to make almost a paint out of it(don't worry the alcohol evaporates and doesn't affect the flavor or anything) and you can splatter it on the inside of your mold before you put the chocolate and then when you remove the chocolate there are pretty golden spots! You can also drizzle some of the melted chocolate over the top for decoration and add some sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet!
Hello I am a new subscriber to your Channel and I know I'm going to enjoy watching your videos now I know you've heard of the candy called ferrero rocher. That looks exactly like the little chocolate bombs you should try to make your own version of the candy out of a chocolate bomb using the same ingredients they have for the ferrero rocher candy
My chocolate gets white spots when I put them in the fridge to cool. What am I doing wrong? Should I not let them set in the fridge? And I’m using the same chocolate you are.
It’s candy melts specifically for melting and molding. I’m not sure if that means it’s pre-tempered or has additional ingredients to help it shine and snap.
@@shermaineveluz2754 Yes, candy melts are for melting and molding. It's a matter of taste. When it comes to candy-melts, the taste is going to be more like wax. So if doing HCB for selling purposes and want to provide great taste you could use LINDT White Chocolate Bars.
I cut my mold in pieces and filled it half way and dumped it in the next one on and on and I didn’t have to do two coats and turned them upside down in the fridge
I’d like to know what white candy melts, hot cocoa powder and how much that will make the hot cocoa taste good. I’ve seen sites using tablespoon and unsaid about 2.5 tablespoons.
Hi, I would like your permission to link your video as a QR code with my hot chocolate bombs I am gifting! I want to also give them a how to video if they want to make their own. Your video is my favorite one for this. May I have your permission?! Thank you!
I will so these next Thursday , it sounds like a great recipe I'm 13 and i am so in love with baking
Have fun!
Love your video. Your so human in them instead of cutting out the imperfect parts you showed it all. Thanks.
Thank you 😊

Such a fun idea!
I need to try this! I’ve seen so many lately...but yours is the best and looks super easy! Thank you for sharing with us again!
I’m so glad!!! Hope you like it
This is the best tutorial I’ve come across. So easy! I will definitely try these.
Thanks for the feedback!!

This makes me so so happy!!!
What kind of chocolate did you use?
Very detailed instructions..TFS ❤️❤️❤️
Did you reheat the chocolate between coats?
It stayed melty enough. But you can
@@NeuroticMomBakes thank you!

Just what the world needs is one more video on bombs.
Just made these, so much fun!
Aren’t they?
They looked great! How long does it take for chocolate to harden in molds in fridge? 10 or 20 minutes each time?

What type of cocoa for filling do you recommend?
Awesome 👌
How long do you let them set in the frig- for both the first layer and the second layer?
Until set. 10-15 minutes
They have tiny tiny marshmallows that come in the instant hot chocolate individual packs sold in a canister, I think that would be fun!
Yes it would!
Where did you buy your Flour container from?!
It’s a local furniture store. It’s about 10 years old
Do you have a link for the molds?
I do on my Amazon Storefront on my Instagram
My mold came last night and I tried making some. They were okay but I didn't get the chocolate thick enough and I just used chocolate chips so they were extra melty. I'm excited to try your tips.
Please do!!
Don’t use chocolate chips, they aren’t tempered chocolate and don’t work
What is you melting method? I've over melted and it gets hard then I read to put crisco and it's just a mess lol
In the microwave 30 seconds at a time

If it doesn’t get liquidy enough at the end, put about a teaspoon of Crisco shortening in the chocolate and steroid around good and it will make it more liquidy
Thank you for sharing how to make these fun Chocolate Bombs! Quick question, how many bombs can you make from your bag of chocolate? TIA
Three i think
So fun! 😍 Love your videos! 😘
Thank you so much!!
Can’t wait to try!! Thanks for the tips. Where did you get your tins or cocoa?
Would you mind sharing a link for your molds, please?
Check my Amazon Storefront on my Instagram page @neuroticmom
@@NeuroticMomBakes Can you link here for folks that don't use IG pls?
Definitely making these. Can you coat the outside with anything?
I have seen a lot of people use gold luster dust to coat the outside to make it look super nice and shiny!

I ordered the wrong size molds. Did you post the link for the molds you used?
I have them on my Amazon Storefront on my Instagram
Soo awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Very welcome!
Nice !! What size are the silicone molds you have ?
I believe they are 2.5 inches
70 mm
My silicone mold comes in today!
☺️💕
Enjoy!
Which mold did you buy?
Woohooo!! Thanks for sharing this ❤️
You are most welcome!!
If I make these as a gift what is the best way to package them?
Individual cupcake boxes. That's what I use.
Good idea!
What a fun treat!
It seriously is!!
Size of mold?
2 1/2” I think
What size mold is this? 2.5in?
Yes I believe so

Hoilday wow
Amazon sales the white hot chocolate cocoa it’s so good
Love it !
Will try this for my gender reveal
Great idea!
Ordered my round molds earlier today!!
Yessss!!
No temper needed? How did you get your chocolate so shiny 🤩😍
It’s candy melts specifically for melting and molding. I’m not sure if that means it’s pre-tempered or has additional ingredients to help it shine and snap.
@@NeuroticMomBakes Amazing. I’ll definitely look into trying that. Tempering can be a nightmare!
I agree! That’s why I avoid it 😂

@@954MamiChula Perfect! I will try lindt as I also believe it doesn't matter if white chocolate is perfectly tempered...

Amazing ❤️💐🇿🇦🇿🇦
I’d like to know what white candy melts, hot cocoa powder and how much that will make the hot cocoa taste good. I’ve seen sites using tablespoon and unsaid about 2.5 tablespoons.
hardly any of those were properly sealed, so you couldn't gift them, the powder would leak out!
I would be scared to use general brush that a piece of hair could stuck in the chocolat. I rather use silicon brush.
Yep whatever works! I’ve never had a problem but silicone brush would be great
💕💛👏👏👏
Thanks for being here!
Lastly see she has crack in the side and that’s my issue

Idk about you guys but she stress me the whole way she seem to be doing all in a hurry or rush I didnt enjoy watching the video
You don’t have to watch then 😊 have a great day!
Yes that is exactly what I thought. She seemed in a frenzy. It made me anxious 😂
