White Chocolate Hot Cocoa Bombs Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 12-ounce bag Wilton white candy melts
- 1/3 cup hot cocoa mix
- 30 mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Pour white candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 20 seconds increments, stirring each time, until candy has melted and is shiny.
- Spread the candy melts up the sides of the mold until every bit of the mold is covered.
- Let the molds sit 5 minutes and re-spread any candy melts that sank to the bottom of the molds.
- Add a second layer of melted chocolate to the half circles molds, especially on the edges.
- Refrigerate molds for 30-45 minutes.
- Once set, carefully remove candy melt spheres from mold.
- Turn the mold upside down and place the rounded sides in between the molds as a stand while filling.
- Fill half the spheres with the hot cocoa powder, marshmallows and sprinkles.
- Reheat the candy melts and add 4 tablespoons to a piping bag.
- Cut a small tip off the piping bag and frost the edge of one half chocolate circle.
- Carefully and quickly add an empty chocolate circle on top to make a sphere and hold it in place for 15 seconds or until the chocolate has acted like glue and hardened.
- Place onto a plate and drizzle melted chocolate on top with the piping bag and quickly top with rainbow sprinkles.
- Let the chocolate harden before serving.
- When ready to serve, place inside a mug and pour 8 ounces warm milk or water over the hot cocoa bomb and stir.
Notes
- Place a glass plate in the microwave for one minute.
- Remove the plate and immediately place each empty sphere on the hot plate to heat the chocolate edges.
- Place each heated sphere on each filled sphere. You can use the tip of your finger to smooth the melted candy around the seam.
These turned out so cute! I love the rainbow sprinkles on the whote chocolate!
