These yummy little packages are crispy and crunchy on the outside and ooey, gooey on the inside. So delicious and perfect for a holiday get-together, school party (if non-food treats aren’t preferred), or your holiday treat tray. The kids will love making them because it’s a bit of a messy job, which is even better.
Here’s how to make these easy, delicious, allergy-friendly goodies.
Chocolate Holiday Bombs
Makes about 32.
Ingredients:
1, 250 g bag original or campfire sized marshmallows
2 cups safe semi-sweet chocolate chips (Hershey’s Chipits work for us, but Enjoy Life is top 8 allergen-free)
2 tbsp coconut oil or lard
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy canes or hard candy (OR 1/4 tsp pure peppermint extract OR crushed Dum Dums Lollipops in the flavor of your choice)**
2 cup safe rice crisp cereal (I used Made Good brand)
icing sugar for sprinkling
Directions:
Melt chocolate in a double boiler over med. heat OR in the microwave in 30-second intervals stirring each time until completely melted (watch that you don’t burn it!)
Add coconut oil or lard to chocolate to thin it out slightly.
Mix crushed candy canes & rice crisp cereal together in a pan.
Put a marshmallow on a skewer and dip into chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off.
Roll in rice crisp & candy cane mixture. Prepare to get messy (kids love this job)!
Remove from skewer and let dry on a pan. Sprinkle icing sugar on top after it has dried (optional).
If chocolate becomes too thick to dip, simply re-melt it again.
** You can use any safe chocolate. Peppermint tastes really good with semi-sweet chocolate, but you could also try milk or white chocolate (if they’re safe for you), and whatever safe toppings you like. Some examples are crushed safe pretzels, other flavours of safe candy canes, cookie crumbs, Christmas colored sprinkles or other safe candies. Play with the flavor combinations based on your family’s preferences and allergies to see what you love best.
