Have you ever made homemade truffles from scratch before? It is really easy! I use my Thermomix® to melt the chocolate, but you can also use a microwave or double boiler method (place a glass or stainless bowl over simmering water on the stove). I mixed in marshmallows so when they melt in milk, the truffles turn the milk chocolately and the marshmallows float to the top. This peppermint hot cocoa truffles recipe was actually inspired by those viral hot cocoa bomb videos popping up all over social media lately. One day, I tried making them myself with a silicone mold, and it was a disaster. Props to anyone who could make them look so beautiful! My peppermint hot cocoa truffles were much easier to make, and worked the same when pouring hot milk over the top – see my Instagram Reel:
