Have you tried hot cocoa bombs? If you like a good cup of hot chocolate, I really believe that you will like hot chocolate bombs. Not only are they delicious to drink, but they are also FUN to make!
I really hadn’t heard anything about hot cocoa bombs until I saw them on Facebook marketplace. I, being a researcher, had to look these hot chocolate bombs up. They seem to be the new food craze of 2020. From that point on, I’ve become a little addicted to them.
White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Hot Cocoa Bombs
Hot cocoa bombs are the hottest craze right now and they are a MUST for the holiday season (or ANY TIME) if you like hot chocolate!
Ingredients
- 2 Silicone Sphere Molds
- 30oz of Ghirardelli White Chocolate melting wafers
- 2 C of peppermint mocha hot cocoa mix
- 1 disposable piping bag
- 1 cookie sheet fitted with wax paper
- 2 C Mini Marshmallows
- 1 C crushed peppermint candy
- ½ C mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and wipe the inside of the silicone molds. This will allow your chocolate mold to have a shiny
coat on it.
Using a heat-safe bowl, pour into the bowl and place the remaining of the Ghirardelli melting wafers in the microwave for 45-second intervals. Make sure to stir the chocolate after every 45 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
Using a spoon, spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the chocolate into the 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.
Repeat steps with remaining molds. You should now have 8 half-sphere molds.
Scoop some of the melted chocolate into the piping bag and cut the tip
Building The Bomb
Scoop about 1 tbsp of the hot cocoa mix into the bottom of the sphere mold.
Sprinkle in a few of the mini marshmallows.
Sprinkle in a few of the crushed peppermint candy.
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 crushed peppermint candy and mini chocolate chips on top
Allow them to harden before enjoying!
Notes
Hot cocoa bombs are a fun way to make your hot cocoa for the night and a GREAT way to warm up on chilly night.
Let me know if you try these hot cocoa bombs, I’d love to know what you think about them. I do have a few more hot chocolate bomb recipes coming up, so be on the look out.
Have you checked out my Creamy Oreo Dip? It only has five ingredients and would be PERFECT for Holiday get togethers!
Yours looks so perfect and pretty!
They all melt the same, lol!
I didn’t realize what these “bombs” were until recently. I’m very intrigued and would love to try making them, and what a nice way to have a treat that isn’t too expensive or too hard for your family to enjoy!
I had to research them too. Like I said, I saw them advertised on Facebook Marketplace. I didn’t know anything about these at all. They are fun, really fun. I hope you try them out and honestly, there are a lot of people on Facebook making extra money as a side hustle selling these.
Thanks for the recipe. I have been collecting them. And my molds came yesterday from Amazon. I am also putting together a kit for my son for a Christmas present. Then he can make his own for either hot chocolate or coffee.
Cool!!! I’m really intriqued by these. I’m going to be drinking a LOT of hot cocoa 🙂
These sounds amazing. They would make a great gift idea.
They would Shelly and honestly, how I saw these and started researching them was- Facebook marketplace. People are making them and selling them for extra money. It would be a great side hustle!

I know Dana, I wish that I had saved a couple of these for my hairdresser so that I could give them to her tomorrow- but I didn’t. I’m going to have to make some more. They are FUN 🙂
