WHAT IS A HOT COCOA BOMB?

If you haven’t heard of these fun desserts, you are in for a real treat! It’s a chocolate ball filled with hot cocoa mix that melts when you pour hot milk on top. 

Hot Cocoa Bombs have become a huge trend since the end of last year and I’m totally here for it! They are so much fun to consume and there are so many different ways to customize them! 

If you are nervous about making your own hot chocolate bombs at home, don’t worry! I am going to show you step-by-step how to make them. They seem intimidating (and do take a little bit of practice) but are easy enough once you get the process down.

  • Hot Cocoa Mix
  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Rainbow Sprinkles
  • Piping Bag
  • Silicone Hot Cocoa Bomb Mold

    10. Cut a small tip off the piping bag and frost the edge of one half chocolate circle.
    11. 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.

Notes

Alternate method for connecting spheres:

  1. Place a glass plate in the microwave for one minute.
  2. Remove the plate and immediately place each empty sphere on the hot plate to heat the chocolate edges.
  3. Place each heated sphere on each filled sphere. You can use the tip of your finger to smooth the melted candy around the seam.
