Ingredients
Hot cocoa bombs
- 1 cup chocolate candy melts
- 2 ¼ cups hot chocolate mix

- ½ cup sprinkles
- ½ cup white chocolate candy melts
Hot Chocolate
- 8 ounces warm milk
- 1 hot chocolate bomb
Instructions
Hot Cocoa Bombs
- Melt the chocolate wafers according to package instructions.
- With a spoon or brush, paint the melted chocolate into clean molds. Make sure the chocolate is in an even layer and there are no thin, weak spots. Refrigerate until firm, about 15-20 minutes.
- Carefully remove the dome halves from the molds. Use the molds as a stand while you assemble the cocoa bombs.
- Into half of the domes, spoon in 3 tablespoons hot chocolate mix, mini marshmallows and any other fillings like ground cinnamon or sprinkles.
- With the brush, paint melted chocolate around the edge of one of the empty domes and, quickly, press it onto a filled half. Refrigerate until firm, about 15-20 minutes.
- Decorate with more melted chocolate, sprinkles, edible glitter or candies.
- Then remove from molds and place in cellophane bags or a gift box to give away or use!
Hot Chocolate with Hot Cocoa Bombs
- First, warm some milk on the stove or in the microwave. Don’t boil it.
- Place the hot chocolate bomb in a mug.
- Then pour the hot milk over top. The chocolate shell will melt into the milk. Marshmallows and other fillings will float to the top.
- Stir together then sip on your creation!
Notes

Tips
Make sure the molds are clean and dry. Chocolate can change color or crack when it meets water. When adding chocolate to the molds, remember it doesn't have to look pretty — ideally, no one but you will see the insides! Wear rubber gloves to avoid making fingerprints as you decorate the bombs. For a party, keep warm milk in a slow cooker. Let guests ladle it into their mugs with their hot chocolate bombs.Nutrition
