Tips for Making Hot Cocoa Bombs at Home
When it comes to making hot cocoa bombs at home we have some tricks for you that will save your sanity when it comes to creating your hot chocolate bombs.
What Kind of Chocolate Can You Use to Make Hot Cocoa Bombs?
- While you can use chocolate chips or melting chocolates to create a hot cocoa bomb, we personally suggest using melting chocolates. Melting chocolates are created for candy making and can handle the melting and reshaping process better than chocolate chips can. Chocolate chips on the other hand can be more prone to seize up. This is not to say that you cannot overheat melting chocolates and run into issues with them seizing up, it is just that it is less likely to happen when using melting chocolates.
How to Stabilize Your Hot Cocoa Bomb Molds for Filling
- When it comes to creating and filling your hot cocoa bombs a muffin tin will become your best friend. Muffin tins are the perfect size for both cake pop molds and bath bomb molds. Plus they are super easy to pick up and throw into the freezer if you are in a rush.
How Many Marshmallows Should You Put Into Your Hot Cocoa Bombs?
- There is never such a thing as too many marshmallows in my book. When it comes to filling your hot cocoa bombs stuff as much as you can into them. It is so much fun watching the marshmallows explode into your cup of hot cocoa!
What if I Want to Add Different Ingredients?
You totally can! Just keep in mind when you are adding ingredients to your hot cocoa bombs that you do plan on drinking this. Make sure your ingredients will melt into the hot milk so you don’t end up choking.

Instructions
- Place chocolate candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package.
- Place 1 tbsp 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 tbsp 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 tsp 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!
