    Why you should make these hot cocoa bombs

    Hot chocolate bombs are a fun way to enjoy hot cocoa. They are basically large balls of hollow chocolate that have been filled with hot cocoa mix and mini marshmallows. To enjoy them, you place the bomb in a mug and pour either warm milk or hot water over it. Then the magic starts. The chocolate starts to melt and the powdered hot cocoa mix comes out, making a steaming and delicious cup of hot chocolate.

    Ingredients

    • 12oz Bag Pink Candy Melts
    • Pearl Sprinkles
    • 1 tablespoon powdered hot chocolate mix Per Bomb
    • Mini marshmallows
    • 6 Sphere Silicone Mold
    • Cookie icing
    supplies needed to make hot cocoa bombs

    How to make DIY hot cocoa bombs

    To make these, we will be using candy melts, which are easier than using chocolate, since they don't have to be tempered. Pour the candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds or until melts have fully melted.

    Use a spoon to spread the candy melts up the sides of a silicone mold until every bit of the round mold is covered. Let the molds sit about 5 minutes and then re-spread any of the candy that sank to the bottom of the molds.

    Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 30-45 minutes. Once they have set, carefully remove the candy melt spheres from the mold.

    Fill half of the spheres with 1 tablespoon of the hot cocoa powder and 3-4 mini marshmallows.

    Place a glass plate in the microwave for one minute. Remove the plate and immediately place each empty sphere on the hot plate edge side down, to heat the chocolate edges. Place each heated sphere on top of each filled sphere. You can use the tip of your finger to smooth the melted candy around the seam to make sure they are closed.

    To make these hot chocolate balls more festive, you can add icing and sprinkles. Use the icing to draw lines back and forth on top of the bomb then sprinkle the pearl sprinkles onto the bomb. The icing will act as a glue.

    To serve these hot cocoa bombs, simply warm up a cup of milk or water as you would when making a cup of traditional hot chocolate. Place the hot chocolate ball with marshmallows inside into a mug and pour the hot liquid over it. Then enjoy your delicious treat! My kids love these because watching them hatch is just so magical!

    Frequently asked questions

    Do candy melts taste as good as chocolate?

    I will be honest, not as good, but the difference is negligible. To me it is worth it to use candy melts because they are easier to melt and come in awesome colors, like the pink used here.

    I can't find pink candy melts, what can I use for the bottom?

    You can use white chocolate candy melts with a touch of red food coloring to get the desired pink color.

    How do I store these hot chocolate bombs?

    Store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
