Hot chocolate bombs are the latest viral food trend that we owe to TikTok. After breaking apart, they’ll fill your cup with oozing cocoa, tiny marshmallows, and other sweet treats, and here’s a couple of reasons why they’re everywhere right now.
Visual Appeal
Just like the majority of food trends that went viral this year, hot chocolate bombs are a true visual feast. There’s something really exciting about watching videos that show them coming in the contact with hot milk and revealing all the sweet treats that have been hiding inside.
The Right Season
Timing has to be right for certain food trends to go viral, and that’s the case with hot chocolate bombs. Hot chocolate is one of the fall’s most popular beverages thanks to its warm and cozy nature, and the marshmallow-filled bombs helped take it to a new level.
Easy Access
Shortly after hot chocolate bombs started going viral, it turned out you can find them at Costco, but making your own is also an option. You can already find countless tutorials online, and you’ll only need a silicone mold and a couple of basic ingredients to get it done.
