Spring Hot Chocolate Bombs

Hot Chocolate Bombs are a fun way to enjoy hot cocoa. These Spring Hot Chocolate Bombs are easy to make and fun to drink for both kids and adults alike. This activity doesn’t take much time and can be done at home. These hot cocoa bombs are great way to warm up on those cold and gray winter days, or to remind you the color of spring is coming soon enough. Here’s how to make them.

Equipment needed

Ingredients

12 oz bag white candy melts
Wilton flower icing decorations (You can find these on Amazon and at Walmart/Michael’s/Hobby Lobby.)
1 tbsp hot chocolate (per bomb)
rainbow colored mini marshmallows
rainbow sprinkles
8 oz water OR milk

Instructions

Pour the candy melts into a microwave safe bowl.

Heat the candy melts for 30 seconds or until they have fully melted.

Coat the inside of the silicone candy mold evenly, making sure that every bit of the mold is covered.

Let the molds sit about 5 minutes & re-spread any of the candy melts that sank to the bottom of the molds.

Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 30-45 minutes.

Once the molds have set, carefully remove the candy melt spheres from the mold.

Fill half of the spheres with the hot cocoa powder, marshmallows and sprinkles.

Place a microwave safe plate in the microwave for one minute. If you don’t want to use a plate you can also use a small egg pan heated to very low.

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. Wearing food safe gloves helps decrease the chances of leaving fingerprints on the chocolate, as well as the likelihood of melting.

If you find yourself having a really hard time closing the two spheres you can smooth a little extra melted chocolate along the seam, most of which would be covered when you added sprinkles.

While your cocoa bombs set, reheat the left over candy melts.

Use the heated candy melts as a glue to place the flowers on the hot cocoa bombs.

Using a piping bag or a baggie with the end snipped off, swirl the top of each sphere with candy melts.

While the candy melts are still warm, sprinkle away. The candy melts will act as a glue.

Now you’re ready to use the hot chocolate bomb or store it.

When you’re ready to enjoy your hot cocoa bomb, heat 8oz of water (or milk for richer flavor) in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Place one cocoa bomb into a large mug, and slowly pour the hot water or steamed milk over it.

The bomb will start to open. Stir lightly to continue opening the bomb, stirring until the chocolate and sprinkles have melted.

Enjoy!
