Have you tried hot chocolate bombs? They are the newest food trend. We couldn’t stop with hot cocoa, we had to make the best coffee bombs too. Mixing chocolate and espresso, these mocha coffee bombs hit the sweet spot.

The Best Coffee Bombs

I remember the first time I was introduced to fusion food. It was the early 2000s and I recall going to a restaurant that mixed all sorts of flavors together. I do not recall the meal, very well, but I do remember the still water was $4 – isn’t that crazy? I also recall that the dessert was a hamburger made with chocolate and a donut. The restaurant didn’t make it long (perhaps because of the expensive water, perhaps because it was a little ahead of it’s time for the area I lived), but my love of fusion was built during that time.

When I think of coffee bombs and hot chocolate bombs, I think of fusion food. It is mixing something creative and unique and creates a beautiful display – sometimes too beautiful to enjoy or eat. Since I love chocolate drinks, but don’t drink hot chocolate enough, I wanted to create my love of chocolate with my love of a need – coffee.

What is a coffee bomb?

To first answer what is a coffee bomb, you must know what is a chocolate bomb? A coffee bomb, similar to a chocolate bomb, is a round hard shelled chocolate ball with instant coffee inside. When added to hot milk it breaks apart and creates a Mocha Coffee. Chocolate bombs and coffee bombs are fun recipes you can make at home that are excellent for gift giving.

If you love Coffee, you likely love Starbucks. Look at our Starbucks Inspired Chocolate Bombs too!

Coffee Bomb Ingredients

Coffee Bomb Recipe Directions

It is really easy to make Coffee Hot Chocolate Bombs. Follow the following directions to get your started.

First, place one 12-ounce package of dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the dark chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted.

Next, take a spoonful of melted chocolate inside a half circle of the silicone mold. Use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides of the rubber mold. Continue this process until all the molds are coated (approximately 12 half circles).

Set the remaining melted chocolate aside for sealing and decorating the bombs.

Allow the chocolate in the molds to set completely, around 2 to 3 hours. You can speed up the process by placing the chocolate in the refrigerator.

When the chocolate is set, remove each of the chocolate pieces from the mold. Add around one tablespoon of instant espresso powder in each piece.

Reheat the dark chocolate in the bowl in 15 second intervals until melted. Pick up an empty chocolate piece and dip the edges into the melted chocolate. Carefully place it on top of a filled piece and lightly press it into place. Using your finger, smooth melted chocolate around the seam. Continue until all the chocolate bombs are sealed.

Melt the white chocolate according to the package instructions, then place the melted white chocolate into piping bags. Lightly drizzle white chocolate over the top of the bombs to decorate.

Allow the chocolate decorations to set before using, around 1 hour.

To make the mocha bombs, place the bomb in the bottom of a mug. Pour one cup of hot milk over the top of the bomb to melt the chocolate. When the chocolate is completely melted, stir to combine.

Enjoy or wrap in hot chocolate bomb plastic containers for Hot Chocolate Bomb gift giving.

Coffee Bombs Gifts

As a former teacher, I can tell you coffee was one of my favorite gifts. I did not enjoy a coffee gift for the holiday season but the “just because I was thinking of you” type of day. If you want to give a teacher some thanks, attach our adorable C is for Caffeine or I Like you A Latte Gift Tags.

If you are a REALLY amazing parent, drive through the Starbucks line and order hot milk before you bring your child to school. Drop the Mocha Coffee Bomb and the hot milk off in your child’s classroom as a “just because” thankful Thursday gift.

Instructions

Preparing the Cinnamon Rolls

Next, evenly spread the canned pumpkin puree across the dough rectangles, leaves ¾ inch untouched on the edges.

Take your brown sugar and sprinkle across the pumpkin spread. Do the same with the pumpkin spice.

Once complete, start to roll up the dough at the shorter end and pinch the seams to seal well. Repeat with the second roll.

Next, slice the rolls into 8 rounds and place into a greased baking pan.

Bake at 375 degrees for 20-24 minutes or until golden brown.

Preparing the Cream Cheese Frosting

While baking, prepare the frosting.

First, blend together cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl.

Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla. Set aside or transfer to a piping bag (or Ziploc with one corner trimmed off) to drizzle frosting when rolls are ready.

Once rolls finish baking, allow to cool before adding frosting.
