What are hot chocolate bombs?
Hot chocolate bombs — or hot cocoa bombs — are spheres of decadent chocolate filled with cocoa mix and lots of mini marshmallows. You pour steaming hot milk over the bomb and watch them melt away, exposing the marshmallows and coca mix inside. (See the video below.)

DIY Hot Cocoa Bomb Recipe
First, you need to purchase two silicone circular or spherical molds.
Ingredients
- Melting chocolate/chips of your choice.
- Hot cocoa mix
- Mini marshmallows
- Toppings – crushed candy canes, sprinkles, chocolate drizzle, etc…
Directions
- Melt your chocolate chips by microwaving them in a bowl for 30 seconds, stirring, then continuing to heat at 15-second intervals.
- Spread the chocolate so that it covers the mold with a thin coating of chocolate
- Let the chocolate harden in the refrigerator or the freezer if you’re in a hurry.
- Once hardened, fill your mold three-fourths full with your hot cocoa mix and mini marshmallows.
- Cover with the top shell to seal the bombs. (you may need to use some melted chocolate to “seal” your shell.) Add toppings. Place mold in the fridge until the chocolate sets.
- Place your hot cocoa bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over the bomb. Stir until completely melted.
