Hot Cocoa Bombs are the thing this year! I came across this trending holiday idea and I just new that I had to make them for gifts this Christmas. Make this Hot Cocoa Bomb Neighbor Gift Set from items you can easily find at your local Dollar Store!
What is a Hot Cocoa Bomb?
Hot cocoa bombs are hollow chocolate balls that are filled with hot chocolate mix, candy surprises, and lots of mini marshmallows (seriously on the lots - you can never have too many marshmallows)!
When you add a hot cocoa bomb to a cup of hot milk it dissolves and explodes inside the cup letting all of the hot chocolate magic happen. Simply give your hot cocoa a stir and it’s ready to go!
Hot Cocoa Bombs make the perfect DIY gift idea!
How to Make Hot Cocoa Bombs:
The process of making hot cocoa bombs is super easy. All it takes is a good silicone mold, some patience while the chocolate hardens, and fun stuffing ideas. We have made a ton of hot cocoa bombs lately.
A few of my favorites are:
- Mounds Hot Cocoa Bombs (mmmm...coconut)
- Turtle Hot Cocoa Bombs (caramel and walnut? yes, please!)
- Twix Hot Cocoa Bombs (classic caramel and nougat)
The options are endless!
Before we hop on all that, though, if you're loving this easy craft, but don't have time to make it right now, be sure to pin this to your favorite easy DIYs board on Pinterest so you can find it fast again when you are ready!

How to Make a Dollar Store Hot Cocoa Bomb Neighbor Gift Set
- Remove the floral bits from the foam insert in the tin bucket floral arrangement. Leave the foam in the tin bucket.
- Stuff the space on top of the foam with the tinsel.
- Cluster your hot cocoa bombs on top of the tinsel so they won’t drop off the side.
- Cut 2 12-18 inch long lengths of the mesh ribbon and place them perpendicular to each other, centered with one on top of the other.
- Place the tin bucket in the center of the ribbons and wrap all four ends up and around the tin bucket, using the rubber band to secure them snugly at the top above the hot cocoa bombs.
- Tie the top of the mesh ribbon with the white curling ribbon, hiding the rubber band. Curl the curling ribbon as desired.
- Tie the embellishment to one end of an embroidery thread and tie it around the curling ribbon, tying the other end to the printable gift tag, if desired.
