What are hot cocoa Bombs?
Hot chocolate bombs are a fun and simple way to have fun with hot chocolate. It is a sphere of chocolate that you create in a half sphere mold with melted chocolate. Before sealing the chocolate sphere halves, fill them with hot chocolate mix, marshmallows, and other fillings. The sphere is sealed up and then stored or gifted until enjoyed.
To enjoy, the chocolate ball with hot chocolate powder and other fillings is then placed in a mug, and heated milk poured over it. The heated milk causes the chocolate sphere to melt, the insides of the hot chocolate bomb to pop open, and then you mix it making a tasty hot chocolate.
You can buy them on Amazon, Etsy, and at local shops however, they are expensive and it is not hard at all to make DIY hot chocolate bombs. It does take a little bit of time and patience to get the hang of it, but you will love how easy it is to make hot chocolate bombs at home once you learn how to.

To use this hot chocolate bombs recipe after they have set heat 2 cups of milk in the microwave or on the stove then add the hot chocolate bomb to the mug. The hot milk will melt the chocolate and the hot cocoa chocolate bomb filling inside will come out, use a spoon to mix the milk with the hot chocolate bomb to make an amazing cup of hot chocolate.
How Much Hot Milk do I need?
Depending on the size of them you will need 1 – 1.5 cups of milk. For a stronger flavor use less milk, but i suggest never using less than one cup of milk.
How to Store Hot Chocolate Bombs
Allow the DIY chocolate bombs to set completely after you have made them. Then store in an airtight container until you’re ready to use. If you are giving DIY hot chocolate bombs as a gift you can put them in plastic wrap or plastic containers.
How long are hot cocoa bombs good for?
Homemade Hot chocolate bombs will keep for up to 2 months if stored in an airtight container in a cool place. You can store them in the fridge if you want to and I suggest doing so if your house is really warm.
Tips for Making Hot Chocolate Bombs
Make sure the chocolate is melted thoroughly. You want to make sure the chocolate is smoothly melted before you use it in the chocolate molds. You can microwave per the directions on the package or melt the chocolate with a double boiler.
Allow chocolate to harden fully. While you might be impatient like myself, when you are placing the chocolate in the freezer to harden back up it is important. You need to let it fully harden or you will have issues removing it from the molds, and you will have issues with the chocolate bombs falling apart.
Use good quality chocolate. Using chocolate melts is the easiest way to go but using a higher quality chocolate will give you a better hot chocolate flavor. If you are wanting a rich and deep chocolate flavor then stick with areal chocolate over candy melts.
Use the right type of mold. If you are using chocolate then you can use acrylic molds or silicone molds, if you are using candy melts then it is a must to use silicone molds.
What mold is best for making hot chocolate bombs?
You can use silicone molds, acrylic molds, or metal molds. I think that using silicone molds is better because it’s basically foolproof. You can really use any size that you want to and some molds in different shapes can be used as well.
I prefer using the smaller spheres when I am making them for the kids, but when I am gifting them I like to use the larger spheres because I can fill them with more hot cocoa and fun fillings.
If you are using candy melts when making easy hot chocolate bombs, then you will have to use silicone molds instead of using acrylic molds. If you are using melted chocolate then you can use either type of mold to make hot chocolate bombs.
Where can I get lucky charm marshmallows?
I found the bag of Lucky Charm marshmallows on Amazon, but you can also find them in the grocery store. If you can not find them near you, you can always take them out of the cereal.
Lucky Charms Hot Chocolate Bombs Ingredients
- 2 cups Unicorn Sparkles Candy Melts
- 2 cups White Hot Cocoa Mix
- 2 cups Lucky Charms Marshmallows
- You will also need a silicone mold, I used this one
How to Make Lucky Charms Hot Chocolate Bombs
Place unicorn sparkles 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. I have found with this chocolate, it will need to be very thick so there will not be a lot of chocolate leftover to reserve. Repeat with 12 bomb mold halves. Reserve the remaining melted chocolate.
Place the chocolate filled bomb molds into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Remove molds from the freezer and gently peel the silicone away from the chocolate cups.
If the edges of the chocolate cups are not even, 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 and even it out. Repeat with all of the chocolate cups, as necessary.
Fill 6 of the molds with 1 tbsp white hot cocoa mix and 5-10 Lucky Charms marshmallow.
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.
With the reserved chocolate, pipe a little bit of the melted chocolate on top of each hot cocoa bomb and immediately place a few additional Lucky Charms marshmallows on top of the melted chocolate.
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.
