The instructions state to heat a mug of milk and add the bombe; if you do this, the chocolate won’t fit (it is big) or the milk will spill down the sides. Or you won’t have much of a drink if you use less milk. Put the hot chocolate bomb in the bottom of an empty mug and fill it with hot milk; the milk will melt the chocolate as you pour; the milk will dissolve a hole in the bomb; the milk will then melt it from the inside and pop; the marshmallows will burst to the top.That is how you should do this. This also means you will get a full mug of hot chocolate too. That is how I made it, and it was perfect.
It did require a bit of stirring to get all the chocolate mixed in, but it looked absolutely lovely. There were plenty of marshmallows, and the chocolate flavour had a lovely taste of salted caramel. This is a fun, soothing drink with lots of chocolate, perfect for a Christmas Eve treat or a special occasion, but do make sure you add the milk to the bombe and not the other way around.
