I appreciate that you left in the couple tries you had with tempering. It can be bit frustrating dealing with real chocolate but in my opinion its worth it to do that b/c then your hot chocolate is much more flavorful! I think its all about practice & if you dont want to do that I suggest Ghirardelli melting wafers. You just warm them in short bursts in the microwave & stir. Thats my shortcut any way & you can even use a little more for a drizzle so you dont have any waxy candy melt on your choco bomb. Other people on YT would have edited the couple attempts and act like its so easy and they got it on the first try 🙄🙄🙄 yeah right 😂
Your honesty is refreshing. I get so discouraged when I fail because alot of these bakers on youtube or TV make it look so easy. But I believe it's because they edit out the mistakes. You keep yours in and it helps me to know even the most experienced bakers have their moments of 😵💫🥴🤪😖🤬 in the kitchen. I enjoy your videos and learning from you. Thank you for the awesome content!
The fact that it took you 4 tries and you always leave the "Whoops!" moments in your videos makes me so happy and so much more willing to try your recipes! If you're not perfect than I don't have to be either. Thanks for all of the awesome videos, I've tried so many of your recipes and they've all been a hit at my house.
Happy holidays to you and your beautiful family! Note: I’ve watched dozens of cocoa bombs and you are the very first to explain that the chocolate needs to be tempered! Actually, to be fair, some bloggers use the fake chocolate flavored discs and they don’t need tempering, but tempering should be addressed because many people only use real chocolate (like me!). Thanks for the great information!
good for you showing all the attempts to get the chocolate tempered. I really appreciated it because I have had so much trouble tempering. Now I feel like I have to tools to try again.
Am I overlooking the link for the thermometer? I’ve been looking for a new IR and if it’s good enough for John…. I Love the tempering adventure you shared with us! You are my go to for EVERYTHING!
John, Merry Christmas to you, and Brian, and the boys. I recently discovered your channel and blog and really enjoy them. This is my first preppy Christmas, I made your spritz cookies, Russian Tea Cakes, thumbprints, and I'm working on Gingerbread cookies right now. So far while the cookies are not as nicely decorated as yours, they taste great. Thank you.
Not gonna lie- I'm a bit jealous of your sprinkle drawer... in fact, I had to rewind to look again! Thanks for showing your process. It really helps to see less than successful attempts and how you overcame them! Love these!
I was looking for Hot Cocoa Bomb recipe and really hoping you did one. You are like, the only one I trust when it comes to pastries! Omg, I'm so excited to try! Merry Christmas!!! 🥰
try cutting the mold apart, then pour chocolate into one at a time and instead of spreading with a spoon, tilt the mold around so the chocolate covers the inside, after it's set, go back and repeat. I've never had one break using this method. Have a muffin pan lined with cupcake liners ready to set the molds in while they firm up,.
I just watch this video and love it ☺️☺️☺️this is awesome homemade chocolate bombs and going to make some for my family. Thank you so much. Love Dee watching from the Bahamas 🇧🇸
I learned never to use a glass bowl to temper chocolate because it retains the heat even after you take it off the double boiler. I use plastic bowls and they work beautifully and I never used a thermometer either.
I loved how you showed us how no one is perfect when it comes to baking. Is there any chocolate 🍫 one can use so you don't have to go through everything you went through? Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
I tried tempering this way 1st time, waaay too long and hair raising. Then I found microwave tempering and the angels came out and sang! Took about 30 seconds 😄
I appreciate the raw footage of tempering chocolate. I had the same problem! Lol I honestly should’ve just bought the spoon wth the built in temp so as I stir I’m also keeping a eye on the temp as well.
I'm brand new to your channel and you're a talented humble breathe of fresh air! God bless you and your sweet little family! Thank you for sharing all these wonderful recipes!
Merry and Blessed Christmas to you and your family John 🙏❤ Thanks for sharing love through your videos 🥰 I wish I had time to do the same...as a nurse, I cannot work from home..though I am still happy to assist patients. God bless and keep everyone safe especially those following your channel 🙏
Merry Christmas to all! I love the way that you put this recipe together and I can not wait until I try this recipe out! WOW! LOVE the presentation as well.
I made an Italian 'Torrone Dei Morti' yesterday (from Pasta Grammer channel), knowing nothing about tempering chocolate. My chocolate came out shiny and crispy and no fingerprints (I admit, I avoided touching them directly). Sometimes ignorance works in one's favor, had I known I probably wouldn't have had as much fun making it. Merry Christmas you Guys!
Merry Christmas to all those who are celebrating today!
Merry Christmas John you are an amazing baker love your channel and hot cocoa bombs
Merry Christmas 🎁 To You Also Thanks For Sharing

I've made candy for years and I still screw up temper sometimes
I use baking chocolate because it’s easier but I add real grated chocolate inside the hot chocolate bombs.

I would’ve lost my temper after the second time I tried to temper the chocolate 😂
That was an awesome sprinkle drawer.
I ran the video back to sneak a second peak at the sprinkle drawer.
Same here! That is the sprinkle drawer that dreams are made of 😀
Please explain me what is Gelatin mass

Thank you for sharing the reality about tempering chocolate! Now I know where I’m failing and what I’m actually working towards!
I love that you actually tempered your chocolate. barely any baker ever does that, it's frustrating

I found cutting the mold into 6 pieces made it much easier to separate the chocolate from the mold.
They look so beautiful and yummm, John!

It really tests our patience to temper chocolate.. thanks for being honest in your attempts, Sir ! Nice video, once again 👌
So sweet to see him happy when it finally tempered
