Patriotic Chocolate Bomb
Wow guests with no-bake Patriotic Chocolate Bombs! Fudgy, red-white-blue drizzled treats for 4th of July. Easy, kid-friendly.
Ingredients
- FOR THE CHOCOLATE BISCUIT BASE
- 1 ½ cups dark chocolate biscuits finely crushed (like Oreos without filling or cocoa graham crackers)
- 3 tablespoons melted dark or semi-sweet chocolate
- 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- OPTIONAL FILLING
- 8 –10 mini marshmallows
- FOR DECORATION
- ¼ cup white chocolate or white candy melts
- 2 tablespoons red candy melts
- 2 tablespoons blue candy melts
- 1 tablespoon semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- Red sprinkles or edible glitter optional
Instructions
- MAKE THE CHOCOLATE DOUGH: In a medium bowl, mix the finely crushed chocolate biscuits, melted chocolate, and sweetened condensed milk until a soft, fudgy dough forms. Adjust texture if needed by adding a bit more condensed milk if too dry or more crumbs if too sticky. Chill the dough for 10 minutes to firm up.
- SHAPE THE BITES: Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of dough. For plain bites, roll into smooth balls or dome shapes. For filled bites, flatten the dough in your palm, place a mini marshmallow in the center, wrap the dough around it, and roll gently to seal. Place each bite on a parchment-lined tray.
- CHILL TO SET: Refrigerate the shaped bites for 20–30 minutes, or until firm enough for decorating.
- DECORATE: Melt the white chocolate in one bowl. In separate bowls, melt the red candy melts, blue candy melts, and chocolate chips. Use a spoon, fork, or piping bag to drizzle each bite with colorful stripes. While the drizzle is still wet, add red sprinkles or edible glitter. Chill for 5 minutes to set the decorations.
Notes
Use gloves or slightly damp hands when shaping to avoid sticking. Adjust decoration colors as desired for other holidays or events.
