The “bombs” are actually sugary spheres, usually glossy chocolate orbs filled with cocoa mix or chocolate powder with additions such as sprinkles or Lucky Charms-style marshmallows hidden inside. Dropped into a mug of warm milk, the bombs open up, revealing the goodies inside and morphing into a decadent cup of hot cocoa.
The treats have gained popularity this year among bakeries everywhere, including local shops in the Dayton area. Cake, Hope, and Love, however, took the trend a step further and started offering “Boozy Bombs” — infused with flavor options including peppermint schnapps, Irish cream and Kahlua.
Though Cake, Hope, and Love has already sold out of pre-orders for the holidays, the bakery sells the bombs in-store during regular hours. Here are other local bakeries offering the novel goodies. Know of any bakeries we missed, let this reporter know at sarah.franks@coxinc.com and we’ll be sure to add it to the list.
Remember, due to COVID-19, many shops have special hours and new online ordering procedures. Many shops have sold-out due to popularity, but are taking orders for the new year.
