It's that time of year when the cold weather and holidays make you crave a cozy cup of hot cocoa. It's the perfect way to warm up at home during the festive season, and if you've been scrolling through Instagram or TikTok lately, you may have noticed that hot chocolate bombs are a thing. It's time to ditch the powdered cocoa you usually use this time of year, and opt for something that's oh-so Insta-worthy.
