How about a cocoa bomb?
“It’s so much more fun, and more fun for the kids,” said Duyen Nguyen, a baker who is preparing to to open a sweets shop called the Cake Bar at the Salt City Market in downtown Syracuse in early 2021.
There’s a good reason kids (and many adults) love the cocoa bomb, which has become one of the hottest food trends in the nation this holiday season. Eater.com reported this week they’ve “exploded on TikTok.”
It’s a hard shell of chocolate, wrapped around ingredients like cocoa powder, peppermint candy, marshmallows, berries and/or sprinkles. They’re typically decorated in playful or festive fashion.
