I would say that these yummy treats began popping up during the pandemic. Maybe we were all so bored at home, we began experimenting with cooking, baking and ways to keep our children and families happy and entertained.

I absolutely remember being in the kitchen more than I have ever been before. But one thing I cannot take credit for other than an amazing carrot cake banana bread I made often that year is the hot chocolate bomb. I distinctly remember trying my very first one that winter.

I had a friend who figured out how to make them right away and she would send some over for my kids every time she did. We were and still are grateful for her creation and being bored like the rest of us that year because she still makes them for us.

However, since it is that time of year, 'hot chocolate season' if you will, if you would like to learn to make them yourself, I found this simple video on YouTube that will help you get started.

Hot chocolate bombs are THE bomb and just in case you have not discovered that yet, 2023 is your year. Enjoy!
