By Charles Trepany

Following in the footsteps of dalgona coffee, pancake cereal, cloud bread and other dishes that have gone viral this year, the hot cocoa bomb first exploded in popularity on TikTok.

But what are they?

Perfect for fall and winter weather, the hot cocoa bomb is basically a hollow chocolate ball filled with marshmallows and hot cocoa mix.

The neat treat turns any mug of hot milk into a steaming cup of hot chocolate, complete with marshmallows, in a matter of seconds.

Basically, it's a bath bomb you can eat.

According to user @honeybobear's video, start by melting chocolate in the microwave, and then spread the melted chocolate into a baking mold.

Lastly, melt the edges of the top half of your molds and attach them to the bottom half molds. Refrigerate again to seal your hot cocoa bombs.
