It’s the Bomb: Gourmet hot cocoa bombs are all the rage.

Stocking stuffer season is here, and Yummies by Yoka has you covered with a delicious assortment of uniquely flavored hot cocoa bombs sure to please most everyone on your list.

Hot cocoa bombs are just what they seem—balls, “or bombs,” of chocolate shells filled with goodies like marshmallows, butterscotch chips and cocoa powder. When hot milk is poured on top, they burst and melt into especially decadent hot chocolate.

Amanda Yoka founded her cottage bakery Yummies by Yoka in 2016, and every holiday season she offers eight different flavors of hot cocoa bombs, including favorites like s’mores and Butterbeer. Using two-piece silicone molds, Yoka handcrafts her oversized cocoa bombs with Merckens-brand chocolate and packages them each with step-by-step instructions on how best to enjoy these treats. S’mores bombs are stuffed with marshmallows and have a graham cracker and toasted marshmallow finish on the outside—all the aesthetics of a warm winter treat straight out of a Hallmark movie. “The bomb explodes marshmallows from the middle once hot milk is poured over top,” Yoka says. 

Butterbeer cocoa bombs are made with a white chocolate shell and infused with butterscotch chips, thick butterscotch and cocoa. This bomb feels like Diagon Alley has come to your living room and might even inspire a last-minute Harry Potter movie night. Yoka highly recommends using hot milk or coffee over the bombs to add to their rich, decadent texture. They’re sure to kick a relaxing winter night up a notch.  

Cocoa bomb orders can be placed now through February via Yoka’s website yummiesbyyoka.com, with new seasonal flavors popping up every month.
