As summer draws to a close, many people are looking toward fall and the chillier days and nights that this season brings.
Most people will associate the arrival of fall with pumpkin-spiced lattes or even hot chocolate if you’re not a fan of pumpkin spice (not everybody is, after all!). However, if you have children, you may find it a bit repetitive and unimaginative for them to simply give them the same flavored hot chocolate time and time again.
So, how can you spice up this treat without using actual spices? There are an array of different chocolate drinks and chocolate bomb combinations that you can use to keep your kids happy this fall, and this article will look through some of the best taste combinations to try.
Classic Chocolate
Have you ever had a hot chocolate that was simply unforgettable?
You probably didn’t have to go too far from the original recipe, and you will be glad to know that there are chocolate bombs that can provide you with a classic hot chocolate taste with the additional flavor of mini marshmallows. So, when you pull the hot milk onto the bomb, it will simply melt into a rich and creamy cup of hot chocolate that you are then free to top with whipped cream or more marshmallows for a delectable treat!
Salted Caramel
The craze of salted caramel has not been left from the world of chocolate drinks, and this is a flavor combination that will include a standard bomb mixture is also filled with caramel sauce and a pinch of crunchy sea salt. This can create an interesting taste combination, as it is sweet and salty while also having the creaminess of the chocolate. As before, you can simply top it up with some whipped cream or marshmallows or even a caramel sauce, and it is a very tasty hot drink on a cold evening.
Peppermint Chocolate
For those who love the taste of candy canes during the Christmas season, a peppermint-flavored bomb is going to be one that is incredibly popular, especially among kids! The standard bomb will contain crushed peppermint candies, cocoa mix, and of course, those all-important mini marshmallows. This combination will create a refreshing and festive peppermint hot chocolate when mixed with hot milk, which will leave a pleasant and cooling aftertaste. Great!
Hazelnut Chocolate
Almost all kids love the infamous chocolate spread Nutella, and if you were looking for a way to imitate this in a hot chocolate, all you need to do is add a dash of hazelnut. The standard hazelnut-infused chocolate drink is filled with cocoa and hazelnut chunks, as well as some caramel. When mixed with hot milk, this creates a nutty and creamy hot chocolate that your kids will not be able to get enough of.
White Chocolate Raspberry
Finally, if you want to try something very fruity and very different, why not add a fruity twist to the traditional chocolate mixture? A white chocolate raspberry bomb combines white chocolate powder with dehydrated raspberry pieces and raspberry syrup to create a delectable treat. When you add warm milk, why not top up this drink with some whipped cream and some fruit pieces to add to the tanginess of the raspberry?
