- So apparently, the thing that is all the rage
this season, are hot chocolate bombs.
And I don't know if you've seen them or not,
but I am a mother on Facebook
and all the mom Facebook groups that I'm a part of
are like "Costco?
"Where are the hot chocolate bombs?
"Why are they sold out?"
And they're like flipping out all over the place,
whining hot chocolate bombs.
So I decided I want to try making them.
I am a little nervous about this.
People are saying that it's easy,
but it involves hardening a shell of chocolate
and then putting ingredients in there.
And I feel like I'm the kind of person
that breaks delicate chocolate shells
out of my impatience and clumsiness.
So, we'll see how this goes.
I bought a lot of supplies
to do many different hot chocolate bombs.
But the first one we're going to do
is just a regular chocolate, hot chocolate,
keeping it simple.
And we'll see if we are able to do this,
and then we'll get it more complicated as we go.
Okay, so we have the Rosanna Pansino Nerdy Nummies
chocolate melter thing. (clinking noise)
And we're just going to dump this in.
- And it should melt it. - Yeah, it should melt.
- [Parker] It's melting,
if you look at the bottom very closely.
- It's starting to melt. - Oh my gosh.
- Okay, so I bought these chocolate molds online
and I'm going to use a silicone basting brush
to wipe chocolate on the inside.
I saw people using regular paint brushes,
I just don't have one on hand, so hopefully this works.
(peaceful upbeat music)
(mumbling)
So we did one coat of the chocolate
and then we put it in the refrigerator.
And now we're going to put a second coat on.
And I really appreciate that
it's already coming apart off there.
I hope it peels out of the silicone thing easily.
That's what I feel's like the most
nerve-wracking part for me.
- I think you have to-- (upbeat peaceful music)
- [Jessica] This is the first one
and I don't really know what to do.
- [Christopher] Hold it upside down, maybe?
Oh! (gasping)
- Beautiful! - It has been birthed!
Look at that, I'm not going to touch it
'cause I don't want my fingers to melt it.
How cool that is!
It's intense, how'd it go.
I think the best thing is to like
kind of push-- - Suspense is killing me!
- I know, right?
You're like kind of trying to roll--
(gasping) - Ohh.
Well, we can just melt that again.
- [Christopher] Guess I gotta eat it.
- [Jacob] No, you melt it again and then you make it.
- Jacob, you clever boy.
All right, there you go, melt again.
(Upbeat peaceful music)
If it starts cracking on the edges.
Wait, wait Jacob did it!
It's his first one!
Here's your little plate.
- [Jacob] Oh, my fingers, I can feel it melting.
- Okay, so if it starts cracking on the edges
but it's still in there, you can leave it in there
and you can take the melted chocolate and just kind of
fix up those areas.
Oh, Parker.
Oh, Parker!
Don't touch it.
Don't touch it 'cause it'll start melting.
- [Jacob] (giggling) It's gonna fly.
- [Jessica] This is a wild (mumbles).
- Yes! - Yes, okay.
We just need one more.
Okay, Christopher is trying.
- [Parker] The suspense.
- [Jessica] Birth it Christopher, birth it.
Yes! - It's just gonna fall
on his hands.
- Glorious, all right. - Can I birth?
- [Jessica] Okay, so we have four.
So we have enough to make two hot chocolate bombs.
So we're gonna move forward with this
and come back to this after and see how it goes.
- I love chocolate. - Yeah, you do.
You excited about these hot chocolate bombs?
(giggling) - There's enough for my
hot chocolate? - Me too.
Okay, I have two tablespoons.
One's going to be for hot chocolate mix
and one's going to be for mini marshmallows.
He's going to want regular.
There you go, okay.
So these are vanilla dehydrated marshmallow bits.
(bag crinkling) - Smells so good.
- Double it up. - Yeah, that one
should be mine.
I love marshmallows.
Marshmallows are like my favorite thing.
(laughing) I will eat them anytime.
- I just realized that the recipe that I saw,
you were supposed to melt the edges of the chocolate
before you added stuff into it.
And I did not do that, but I'm going
to melt the edges right now
of the ones that I'm going to connect it with.
So, hopefully it's okay.
But I did miss that step and we'll see what happens
when you miss that step.
(upbeat peaceful music)
See, so that, if I needed to clean that up originally,
but it's okay, it's okay.
- [Christopher] You use a hot spoon to do that.
- Yeah, I can still clean it up somewhat.
(upbeat peaceful music)
So we have a hot spoon.
We're going to clean this up.
Woo, no!
Bad hot spoon, bad.
Cut that out, cut that right out.
Let me see if I can fix it.
(snorting noise) - Oh no!
- No! - No!
- No! (giggling)
- [Christopher] It'll still work, it'll still work.
It's just not gonna be as pretty.
- Just put some frosting on that part.
(upbeat peaceful music)
I'm gonna melt this down a little more.
It has some cracks, woo!
Pretty good.
Melt down this edge.
So it has a nice edge.
So this is just hot chocolate mix.
And then we're going to melt the other side.
This is just a heated pan.
Pop that on real nice.
Hey!
Looks great.
That looks great.
And then this side. (baby whining)
Luke's cheering me on, oh my gosh!
I made a hot chocolate bomb!
So I saw a tutorial that said
use a hot spoon. I just tried to use a hot spoon
and it made a hole in one of my other chocolate bombs.
So I'm not gonna use a hot spoon
and I'm going to be happy with
having a little bit of a seal showing.
But if you want to be brave and try a hot spoon,
you go ahead.
This part is actually really tricky
and we're going to drizzle some melty, white chocolate
for decoration, but it's kind of hot.
And it like, if we put too much on it can heat right
through the melty chocolate.
And I'll show you an example of that
'cause I knew this was practicing.
Wam wam.
But we're going to go for this.
That's the goal.
Its a good thing I had these guys so I could practice on.
I'm going to really pile up a lot of this stuff onto a fork.
I'm going to do like just a splatter, splatter.
Splatty, splat, splatter, splatter, splat.
Whew, no, no!
Be cool, be cool, be cool.
- [Jacob] I'm washing it off!
- Yes, oh my gosh, we love a drizzle!
(gasping) That looks so good.
Okay, full disclosure.
Christopher did this because when I did it.
That happened.
I bought this really pretty edible glitter stuff.
Didn't look into how to use it.
So I'm just going to kind of do a little sprinkle sprinkle.
Oh my gosh, it's so gorgeous.
Are you kidding me?
Christopher, you know what this means, right?
We need to get married.
Like we need to have like a wedding right now.
Cause this is like wedding worthy dessert.
Want to get married again? - Sure, do you?
- Yeah. - Yes, then yes.
- [Jessica] What are we about to do you guys?
- We're about to make hot chocolate bombs!
- See, with our hot milk. - Got hot milk.
You ready? (gasping)
- We can't see! - It's doing it over here,
it's doing it over here!
(laughing) - Oh my gosh.
- We did a thing!
(cheering loudly) We did it!
We figured out how to make
the most complicated hot chocolate.
- [Parker] I can't wait to eat it, this one's mine!
- [Jessica] It looks so good, this one is Parker's.
Look at the sparkles.
Do you see them? - Yes.
- It's like glittering. - Oh my gosh.
Like I never had sparkles. - They're really good.
- [Jessica] Do you see it?
It's like very subtle but then
it's gorgeous when you notice.
- I see the marshmallows. - Wanna take a little sip?
(slurping noise)
- Oh my gosh. (laughing)
- Am I next? - Oh my gosh.
(laughing) This is so good.
(milk trickling loudly)
- [Parker] Oh my gosh!
- That one is mine. (upbeat music)
Uh, mom? - Yeah?
- I can handle hot. - You wanna take a sip?
Go for it.
Maybe use a spoon first for the hotness.
Blow a little bit, blow, blow, blow.
- How is it? - Good.
- It's like chocolate mushed up with marshmallows
mushed up with chocolate mushed up with more chocolate
mushed up with marshmallows mushed up with
more chocolate and marshmallows.
Explosion. (laughing)
And sprinkles, and the frosting stuff.
(laughing)
- Okay, Jacob just made his very own special recipe.
What do you call this one, Jacob?
- Some more, s'more. - Nice, and what's inside?
- Half of a graham cracker.
Melted chocolate on the top
so that I can put marshmallows on.
More marshmallows than normal.
And a tablespoon and a half
of the chocolate and goodness.
- Nice. - And edible sparkles
on the inside. (gasping)
- [Jessica] (laughs) Okay, let's add some hot milk.
- And then I am gonna eat all of it.
- [Jessica] Oh, all of it?
Yikes, stripes.
(gasps) It's doing its thing!
It's doing it!
Oh, it's glorious!
- What! - Glorious!
That is amazing. - That is very sparkly.
(laughing) - Soggy graham crackers
for the win! - Yes,
we love our graham crackers sog!
This is the sparkliest-- - Hot chocolate
I have ever seen. - Oh dear.
(laughs) - It's so good!
- [Jessica] (laughs) Okay, well taste it,
let's see how it, how does it taste?
Can you taste the glitter?
Don't doubt the glitter.
- Crunchy.
- Huh? - 'Cause the graham crackers?
Or 'cause the glitter?
- Either way.
- [Jessica] (giggles) How is it?
- It's the best thing I've ever had.
- Oh! (laughs)
That's amazing, good job Jakie!
- [Jacob] I'm gonna get a sparkle.
- A sparkle? - Look at that.
- [Jessica] A hundred sparkles?
Wow.
- Crunchy. - I love sparkles.
(laughing)
