How do you use a hot cocoa ball?

To use a hot cocoa ball, simply place it in a mug, pour warm milk over it, and watch it melt into a delicious hot cocoa drink.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Place the Hot Cocoa Ball in a Mug: Start by putting the hot cocoa ball (also sometimes called a hot chocolate bomb) into a suitably sized mug. The mug should be large enough to hold both the ball and the milk.

2. Pour Warm Milk Over the Ball: Heat milk to a warm temperature, but not boiling. Gently pour the warm milk over the hot cocoa ball. The warm milk will start to melt the chocolate shell.

3. Watch it Melt and Stir: As the chocolate melts, the mini marshmallows (and any other fillings) inside will be released. Once the chocolate is mostly melted, stir the mixture thoroughly until it's a smooth, creamy hot cocoa.

Enjoy your delicious hot cocoa!
