How do you store hot cocoa bombs once made?

You’ll want to be certain to store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to use them. They should be fine for several days without any issues.

Since the outer chocolate shell is keeping all the ingredients inside, they’ll stay fresh, too. Many people worry that the marshmallows will become hard or dry out but that couldn’t be further from the truth!
