Things I love about Bom Bom
Let me talk about the delicious Bom Bom Brand of liqueurs! (In case you missed it, I talk about Bom Bom in this post, too, so you can read even more about this awesome brand.)
A while back, the folks at Bom Bom reached out to me and asked if I would try a couple of their liqueurs. Being a woman who loves to try new products, I readily agreed! I liked them so much that I made one of their famous recipes: the Bomtini cocktail
Talk about delicious!!!
This time around, they asked me to try their new vegan liqueur called ‘Fully Baked’. Of course, I agreed.
What makes this delicious liqueur vegan?
It is vegan because they made it with hemp milk! And… it’s not only vegan, it’s also gluten free and all natural!
What are the liqueur’s ingredients?
Here is what it says on the bottle: “Premium Caribbean rum with hemp seed, natural brownie, cookie and other natural flavors, and caramel color.”
What does this liqueur taste like?
If you like cookies – who doesn’t like cookies?! – you will love the taste of Bom Bom Fully Baked. It is also reminiscent of a delicious melted ice cream flavor.

Helpful tips
- Even though it has hardened in the fridge, the batter will still melt somewhat when you roll it into a ball between your palms.
- You cannot store these dark chocolate truffles on the counter, they must be stored in the fridge.
- You don’t have to use your hands; you can use a small cookie scoop to shape the truffles.
How to make these truffles
Pre-step
Get a medium sauce pan, mixing bowl, spatula and jelly roll pan.
Step one
Gather the ingredient – Bom Bom fully baked liqueur, butter, cream and cookies for the garnish.
Step two
Measure out the liqueur, heavy cream and chocolate chips.
Step three
Place the chocolate chips in the mixing bowl and set aside.
Step four
Heat a medium saucepan on medium heat and pour the liqueur and heavy cream into it and bring the two ingredients to a slight boil.
Step five
Take the cream and liqueur off the heat and pour it over the chocolate chips.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter in the chocolate mixture and stir until everything melts.
Step six
Place bowl in refrigerator for 2 hours.
I stuck a spoon in the solidified chocolate.
Step seven
Take a spoon and scoop a dollop of the batter. Transfer it to your hand and roll it into a ball.
Step seven
Place each ball on a parchment covered jelly roll pan.
Step eight
Place the pan of truffles in the fridge for an hour before rolling the balls in cocoa powder and cookie crumbs.
No matter how many times I make truffles, my experience is always the same: they melt easily! But what can you expect from fudgy and gooey?
Let’s take a bite.

I think I’d eat this entire batch in one sitting!
It is hard to stop at one Jessica!!
Oh Elaine I’m scared to make these because I will be the only person to eat all of them! This looks soooo good!
I keep them in the freezer and pretend I don’t have them, since I’m in the same boat as you Hayley!
Chocolate truffles are SOOO yummy! I’ve never seen that type of liquer, I’m going to look for it now!
Thanks Catherine!

OMG! That first shot… it feels like I just took a bite out of that baby, I want it so bad!! Such a great, yummy dessert!!

Although I will always maintain that Bom Bom needs nothing more than a shot glass, the addition of chocolate is a brilliant way to gild this lily. OX
Hehe Chris!
