Kit Kat Hot Cocoa Bombs

Which chocolate is best to use for hot cocoa bombs?

While you can use regular bar chocolate or baking chocolate to make your hot cocoa bombs, it's not my favorite. Candy melts are the better choice, in my opinion, because they're super convenient, consistent when you're melting them, and coming pre-colored and pre-flavored options.

If you do decide to make your Kit Kat hot cocoa bombs with bar chocolate, you'll want to chop it up finely to get it to melt smoothly throughout without scorching. So just keep that in mind.

Filling your cocoa bombs

Aside from hot cocoa mix, you can add all sorts of other things inside your chocolate bombs! Choose the fillings you want to go inside (be it mini marshmallows, candy pieces, or whatever), then fill just the one side. It's ok if it seems a little overly-full because the top half of the sphere will cover it.

To attach the two halves of chocolate together, you’ll use a paint brush or other small tool (or even your finger) and spread melted chocolate as an “adhesive”. As they set, the chocolate will harden and the pieces will be attached.

Cracking open the cocoa bombs

Pour heated milk over your hot chocolate bomb to get it to pop open. Some folks say to just drop a hot cocoa bomb into your cup of milk, but if the milk is not hot enough, it could just melt the bottom of the cocoa bomb and dissolve it, robbing you of seeing it crack open. Pouring hot milk over the top seems to give you the prettiest result.

How to Make Kit Kat Hot Cocoa Bombs

Place chocolate candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package.
Place 1 tablespoon melted 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 half stick of the Kit Kat candy and 6-8 mini marshmallows.
Pipe a little melted chocolate on the rim’s edge then press one of the empty bomb shells on top, sealing the hot cocoa bomb closed. Pipe a little additional melted chocolate around the join line, then roll the hot cocoa bombs in the red sprinkles.
Using a piping bag or a fork, place a teaspoon of the remaining chocolate candy melts on top of the assembled hot cocoa bombs then immediately follow by placing an additional half stick piece of Kit Kat candy bar on this chocolate dab.
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!
