Magic Melting Chocolate Ball Recipe [Easy & Quick]

I’m dying to tell you about this melting chocolate ball recipe that is ah-mazing! When I heard about these mystery chocolate balls, I immediately thought of hot chocolate bombs. You can take hot cocoa balls to a whole new level of deliciousness with this tasty recipe.

Melting Chocolate Balls Recipe

This magic chocolate ball dessert is one of my favorite yummy recipes for chocolate lovers. You’ll never get bored making this magical dessert because it’s so much fun to make for kids and adults alike. A brownie tower topped with chocolate balls, ice cream, and berries would be heavenly. This dessert is further enhanced with a drizzle of warm chocolate sauce or fudge. 

Ingredients

• 8 oz milk chocolate, in chips or chopped
• 2 Brownies, prepared according to your preference
• ½ cup strawberries, per serving
• ½ cup walnuts (optional)
• Ice cream, for serving
• 8 oz of chopped dark chocolate
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ tsp. coconut oil

Directions

STEP 1: Place your chopped milk chocolate into a glass bowl and melt it in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until it is smooth. When melting the sphere mixture, add half a teaspoon of coconut oil. By doing so, it spreads more evenly, is easier to use, and has a shinier finish.

STEP 2: Using a lightly oiled paper towel, coat the inside of the fillable ornament. I recommend using a silicone mold or chocolate mold if you don’t have an ornament to make chocolate shells.

STEP 3: One of the halves of the chocolate sphere should be filled with chocolate. Make sure all surfaces of the ornament are evenly coated with chocolate by closing it and rotating the ball. If any empty spaces are visible, I tap them gently to remove them.

STEP 4: The ball should be placed in the freezer for two minutes, then flipped. Every few minutes, flip it a second or third time.

STEP 5: Take the ornament out of the freezer and carefully remove the ball. Make sure you work quickly and avoid touching the ball for too long with your warm hands. If you do that, it will be melty, gooey, and messy.

STEP 6: A flat-bottomed bowl can be dipped or run in boiling water and completely dried afterwards. Placing one side of the frozen chocolate ball on the bowl after it has been inverted onto a flat surface is the next step. As a result, the top of the ball will be removed, ready to be filled with deliciousness later on. The ball should be placed back in the freezer.

Recommendations

Whenever I need round molds or a big mold for these delicious recipes, I check Hobby Lobby. The materials I needed to make hot chocolate balls last year were a piping bag, excess chocolate, a small bowl, and the amount of chocolate to make this amazing dessert.

At the grocery store, I also found a bit of chocolate that I am surprised didn’t melt because it didn’t feel like room temperature. It felt like a double boiler in that store. I also found an entire bowl of sweets that put much pressure on me not to eat, lol. 

A couple of years ago, my aunt made this peanut butter ball recipe that was so good. It was a great dessert with a chocolate coating. It reminded me of PB Bars just filled up like these super cute holiday hot cocoa bombs.

How would it taste if I crushed up chocolate wafers, candy melts, and rice krispies and mixed them together next time? 

The first thing you’ve got to do is try these hot melted chocolate balls. My favorite part is the brownie batter inside. If you make it, please let me know. 

Oreo Balls to the Next Level

Additionally, another good idea we like to include with the Melting Chocolate Ball Recipe is Oreo Balls. We pulled the recipe card from my brother in law’s head. At my niece’s graduation party he made these and they were so good!

At first, I thought it was his chocolate peanut butter balls recipe but he didn’t make his melting chocolate ball dessert recipe this time. He wanted to surprise his daughter with her favorite recipe and great recipes he had made in the past.

He did it a smarter way and made Oreo balls on a large plate. Of course the plate didn’t sit too far away from me.

I kept eyeing the chocolate layers with the chocolate melts. I thought what a fun bake treat this would be to take to the next youth group social or Sunday after church service. It would also make for great gifts for Christmas or Easter celebrations.
