How could a charge-type breath weapon work?

Charge-type breath weapon: Creatures with this type shoot singular, high-damage, high-precision "charges" of (insert dragon's element here) that explode upon contact. Examples: Toothless from the movie How To Train Your Dragon and the Ender Dragon. Obviously the above examples suffer from problems in the realism department, see SoyDestroyer.net's article on that.

I always prefered charge over stream-type as it's both more mass efficient and less prone to causing collateral damage. A fire spreads, explosions don't (usually). Since elemental typing is stupid, we only consider fire and classic explosions.

I think for my dragons a normal explosion (no shrapnel pls) that's able to send anyone within a 2-3 meter radius knockin' on Heavens' Door and burst the eardrums of the rest is strong enough.
