Frozen Hot Cocoa Bombs

What Kind of Chocolate Can You Use to Make Hot Cocoa Bombs?

I like to use melting chocolates because they melt more smoothly, are easier to work with, and they’re less prone to seizing up if they get a little hot by accident. Not to say they won't’ seize, but they’re less prone to doing so.

I tried making hot cocoa bombs with regular chocolate chips and while you CAN do it, they are definitely more difficult to work with. The chocolate is more liable to crack coming out of the mold and it’s just not worth it.

Candy melts are also pre-colored, so you don’t have to worry about the chocolate seizing up as you color it - it’s just better to go with candy melts.

What Do You Put Inside Hot Cocoa Bombs?

There’s no science to what you can stuff inside your hot cocoa bombs. But I do have some recommendations, just to make your experience as fantastic as possible.

If you’re using a candy or other non-marshmallow stuffing, you need to think about including something that’s going to:

Add a surprise
Melt
Compliment the Theme

Fun sprinkles are an easy way to add excitement to your hot cocoa and if you ask me, they are a vital part of the hot cocoa bomb experience. You can use whatever type of sprinkles your heart desires! I personally loved these snowflake sprinkles because what says Frozen better than a flurry of snowflakes bursting out into your cup of cocoa?

How Many Marshmallows Do You Put Inside Hot Cocoa Bombs?

As many as you want that will fit in the hot cocoa bomb. The marshmallows are going to melt in the hot cocoa, so you can put more than I did. I did somewhere between 5-8, so plenty, but if you want more, stuff that hot cocoa bomb full!

What You Need to Make Frozen Hot Cocoa Bombs

2 cups Light Blue Candy Melts
2 cups Hot Chocolate Mix
2 cups Mini Marshmallows
¼ cup White Candy Melts
Snowflake Sprinkles Mix (The mix I used is sold out, but this is super similar)

How to Make Frozen Hot Cocoa Bombs

Place candy melts in separate microwave safe bowls and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package.
Place 1 tablespoon melted light blue candy melt into one half of a bomb mold and, using the bottom of your tablespoon measuring spoon, press the chocolate up the sides of the mold, keeping it thick but even. Repeat with 12 bomb mold halves.
Place the chocolate filled bomb molds into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Remove molds from the freezer and gently tap the sides of the mold, pressing on one side of the chocolate to make the chocolate slide out of the mold.
Fill 6 of the molds with 1 tablespoon hot chocolate mix, 1 teaspoon sprinkles, and 6-8 mini marshmallows.
Heat a plate or a flat-bottom bowl in the microwave until the surface of the plate is warm to the touch.
Press one of the empty chocolate bomb halves open-side-down onto the flat portion of the warm plate for about 10 seconds. This will gently melt the rim of the chocolate cup.
Immediately press this warmed edge chocolate cup to the top of one of the filled cups. This will join the two halves of the hot cocoa bomb.
Using a piping bag or a fork, place drizzle the remaining light blue candy melts on top of the assembled hot cocoa bombs followed by the white candy melts, then sprinkle generously with the snowflake sprinkles.
Place the hot cocoa bombs into the freezer for 5 minutes to get them to set, then remove and store in an airtight container until you’re ready to use.
To use the hot cocoa bombs, place them in a mug and pour 2 cups hot milk over the top. Stir until the hot cocoa bombs are completely melted and enjoy!
