In the ever-changing 2020, one thing remains constant: TikTok is the place for new and exciting food trends.
Tis the season, there’s another cooking craze taking the internet by storm: hot cocoa bombs.
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.
As of Friday, more than 28.5 million videos on the app had been tagged with #hotchocolatebombs, and more than 13.2 million have been tagged with #hotcocoabombs.
What the heck is a hot chocolate bomb/ hot cocoa bomb?
Excellent for fall and winter, 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 mug of hot chocolate, complete with marshmallows, in a matter of seconds.
In videos, users drop hot chocolate bombs into cups of hot milk and watch as the candy spheres melt, releasing the cocoa mix and marshmallows. Thus, a very ordinary cup of milk is turned into a very quick cup of hot cocoa.
Pretty much it’s a bath bomb you can eat.
