Delicious Hot Cocoa Bombs

What I love about these treats is that you can easily make them from home. Not only are they super simple to do but they make every cup of hot chocolate that much more fun! 

And since they’re really easy to make, there’s no reason to not give them a try. The hardest part of this entire recipe is being patient for the chocolate to firm up. But I can promise you that if you can wait through those agonizing few minutes, the end result is absolutely worth it! 

Ingredients needed to make hot cocoa bombs 

• 1 – 30oz of Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate melting wafers**
• 2 cups of hot cocoa mix (your favorite)
• 1 disposable piping bag
• 1 cookie sheet fitted with wax paper
• 2 cups of Mini Marshmallows
• 1 container of the Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits
• 2 Silicone Sphere Molds (see link below)

**You can use your favorite type of chocolate, dark, milk or white all works well

How to Make Homemade Hot cocoa Bombs 

The mold can be left in one piece, or cut into individual pieces for easier handling.  This is your preference.

Using a heat safe bowl, place the melting wafers in the bowl and microwave for 45 seconds. Stir.

Continue to microwave in 45 second intervals and stirring, until completely melted and smooth.

Using a spoon, spoon about 1 – 2 Tablespoons of the melted chocolate into each mold.

Carefully swirl the chocolate to completely coat the inside of the mold.

Lightly shake the extra chocolate back into the bowl.

Place the coated molds into the fridge for 5 – 10 minutes.

Remove from the fridge and gently peel the silicone mold back away from the hardened chocolate shell.

Carefully place the mold onto the cookie sheet.

You should now have 8 half-sphere molds.

Scoop some of the melted chocolate into the piping bag and cut the tip.

No piping bag, use a freezer zip-lock bag.

Building the cocoa bomb:

Scoop about 1 Tablespoon of the hot cocoa mix into the bottom of the sphere mold.

Sprinkle in a few of the mini marshmallows.

Pipe a line of the melted chocolate around the edge of the bottom shell.

Carefully place the top shell onto the bottom and gently hold the top to the bottom for about 30 seconds to a minute to allow the piped chocolate to harden to the top shell.

Carefully pick up the bomb and make sure that there is no opening around the center of the shells.

Place the mold back onto the cookie sheet.

Drizzle chocolate over the mold.

Sprinkle some of the Mallow Bits onto the top of the chocolate drizzle.

You could even add a few sprinkles for fun color.

Allow hardening before enjoying!

A few easy steps to make the molds.

Place wafers in microwave safe bowl

Melt wafers

Spoon melted chocolate into mold

Swirl and remove excess chocolate

How do you use hot cocoa bombs once they’re made?

This is the fun part! If you’re completely done with your hot cocoa bombs and ready to use them, all you need to do is add them to a mug of 8 ounces of milk.  

Make sure your milk is hot and drop in your bomb and watch.  

This will melt that outer layer of chocolate and release all the ingredients from inside. Then you just need to stir and mix it all up to enjoy. 

I can’t wait to hear what you think about these hot cocoa bombs! They’re one of my newest favorite treats.
