How to Make Halloween Chocolate Bombs:
Before you get started, be sure to gather all your supplies and ingredients—and don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the post to print the full instructions!
- Start by freezing a plate and melting orange candy melts.
- Coat the molds with melted candy, freeze, and repeat for a second layer.
- Once set, remove the shells and warm a plate to melt the edges slightly.
- Fill one half with hot chocolate mix and marshmallows, then seal with another shell.
- Drizzle melted black candy on top and finish with Halloween sprinkles. Get creative with decorations! Use edible glitter, candy eyes, or themed sprinkles for a spooky touch.
- Let them set, then store or enjoy by pouring hot milk over the bomb and watching it melt into a festive, chocolatey drink.
Tips for Making Hot Cocoa Bombs:
- Use good-quality candy melts for smooth melting and easy molding. If the candy is too thick, add a tiny bit of coconut oil to thin it out.
- Apply two coats of melted candy in the molds to prevent cracking and make the shells more durable.
- Keep everything cold—chilled molds and plates help the candy set faster and reduce breakage.
- Don’t overfill with cocoa mix or marshmallows, or the bombs might not seal properly.
Stored in an airtight container in the fridge or a cool, dry place, they can last up to 2–3 months.
Yes! Just be sure to temper the chocolate properly so it sets well and has a nice snap.
They may be too thin or popped out of the mold too early. Try adding a second layer and let them chill longer before removing.

Halloween Hot Chocolate Bombs
Ingredients
- 12 oz orange candy melts
- 2 oz black candy melts
- 6 tbsp hot cocoa mix
- Halloween confetti sprinkles
Instructions
- Place a large plate into the freezer.
- Pour the orange candy melts into a 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 candy to all of the mold cavities, then coat the melted candy around the mold, making sure to get all the way up the sides.
- Place candy coated molds into the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add a second coat of melted candy to the molds.
- Remove the chilled plate and candy coated mold from the freezer. Carefully remove each candy coated sphere from the mold and place onto the chilled plate.
- Heat the small plate in the microwave for 2 minutes.
- Put one half sphere upside down on the heated plate to slightly melt the candy coated edge.
- Fill it with 1 tablespoon cocoa mix.
- Repeat step 9 with another half sphere and adhere the two 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 cocoa bomb.
- Add confetti sprinkles.
- To serve, place a cocoa bomb into a mug, then pour 6 ounces of hot water or milk over the cocoa bomb. Stir well and enjoy!
These look so good! I can’t wait to make them during Fall break with my kids!
Reesa, these are AWESOME, so we will be featuring them this week on the Creative Crafts Linky Party starting TOMORROW!
