hot cocoa gift basket

Preparation depends on the format: chocolate bombs are placed in a mug and topped with about 6 oz of hot milk; single‑serve bottled mixes are poured (one bottle per serving) into a mug and combined with about 6 oz of hot water or milk.

Common extras include ceramic mugs, chocolate‑covered stirring spoons, mini marshmallows, cookies, chocolate squares, toffees, and pretzels.

Many sets are marketed as gift‑ready and come in decorative or boxed packaging; some are sold in signature gift boxes or arranged specifically for gifting.

Hot chocolate bombs are made from a hollow chocolate shell that melts when hot liquid is added; they commonly contain mini marshmallows inside.

Both chocolate bombs and single‑serve bottled mixes commonly recommend using about 6 ounces of hot liquid (milk or water) per serving.
