I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
One of the hottest culinary trends during the current winter season has been the hot cocoa bomb, a ball of chocolate that, when melted, reveals a concoction of hot cocoa mix, marshmallows, and maybe another surprise like sprinkles. A hot cocoa bomb brings an exciting twist to an old classic. If you haven’t yet tried one of these delectable treats, head on over to Le Chocolat du Bouchard in Naperville for a taste.
As a premier chocolatier in Naperville, Le Chocolat du Bouchard offers a variety of heavenly treats to satisfy your chocolate cravings or sweet tooth in general.
From truffles to pastries and cakes, from specialty coffees to hot chocolate, this chocolate shop is one you will want to visit. As far as hot chocolate goes, a customer favorite is the new Dark Chocolate Raspberry Decadence.
But customers also come in for something a bit different, something a little more trendy and innovative and that is the hot cocoa bomb, a welcome and surprising treat for these colder months.
So, how does a chocolate bomb work? All you do is take a chocolate sphere, place it in an empty mug, pour eight ounces of hot milk over top, and watch as the chocolate melts, releasing tiny marshmallows to the surface. Stir and enjoy this magic in a cup!
