What You Need to Make Halloween Cocoa Bombs
Ingredients
- 12 oz orange candy melts
- 2 oz black or white candy melts
- 6 tbsp tablespoons of hot chocolate mix
- mini marshmallows
- Halloween confetti sprinkles
- 4-6 ounces of hot milk (for drinking)
Supplies (with affiliate links)
- Semi-sphere silicone mold
- Large plate,
- small plate,
- measuring cups,
- measuring spoons,
- spoon or pastry brush,
- pastry bag or ziplock bag,
- small microwave safe bowl for melting chocolate
How to Put Your Halloween Milk Chocolate Cocoa Bombs Together
Place a large plate into the freezer.
Pour the orange candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring well after each heat session, until the candy is fully melted.
Add a small spoonful of melted chocolate to all of the hot chocolate bomb molds.
Then coat the melted candy up the sides of the mold to the top edges with the back of a spoon.
Place candy coated molds into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Add a second coat of melted candy to the chocolate molds and place back into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Remove the chilled plate and chocolate half-spheres from the freezer. Carefully remove each of the chocolate spheres from the mold and place onto the chilled plate.
Heat the small plate in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Put edge of the bomb upside down on the warm plate to slightly melt the candy coated edge.
Fill it with 1 tablespoon hot chocolate powder and a few surprise marshmallows.
Repeat step with the microwaved plate with another chocolate shell and adhere the two candy shells together. The melted candy should fuse them together nicely, but if not, just use your finger to add a little melted candy around the seam.
Add the black candy to a small baggie, then heat for 30 seconds. Massage the bag a bit, then snip off the end of the baggie and drizzle a little bit of black candy over each of the Halloween chocolate bombs.
Add Halloween sprinkles.
How to Enjoy Your Halloween Cocoa Bombs
To serve, place your filled hot chocolate bombs into a mug, then pour a cup of warm milk over the cocoa bomb, releasing the hot cocoa mix. Stir well with a small spoon and enjoy the creamiest cup of hot cocoa!
How to Store Your Cocoa Bomb Set
For best results, store your Hot Cocoa Bombs in a plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature in a dry place.
You can also wrap the bombs up inside of foil or put each bomb into its own individual paper cup and then tie it with string if you plan on giving these as gifts!
Or place them in a freezer safe container and add the lid. These little treats will last for up to three months when stored properly!
Add a seasonal twist to your Halloween hot cocoa bombs
There are so many fun ways to fill your chocolate ball with fall flavors such as:
- Pumpkin Spice
- Cinnamon
- Caramel
- Coffee / Espresso
- Crushed peppermint pieces
- Or make the chocolate balls into bloodshot eyeballs. To get the bloodshot look, use red candy melts and a small brush to make a bunch of squiggly lines around candy eyes.
