How to Make Hot Chocolate Balls

  1. Combine the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well.
  2. Add the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined.
  3. Gradually add the heavy cream, mixing until a slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate the chocolate balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  6. Just before serving, melt a bit of semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate in a small bowl. Dip each ball in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. Place the dipped chocolate balls back on the parchment paper and refrigerate for another 15 minutes to allow the coating to set.
  8. Serve immediately. Enjoy your taste of Paris!
