Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Easter Hot Chocolate Bombs
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- If using, add coconut oil to help with melting consistency.
Step 2: Coat the Silicone Molds
- Using a spoon or brush, spread the melted chocolate inside a silicone half-sphere mold.
- Ensure an even layer, then place in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set.
- Apply a second coat of chocolate for durability and chill again.
Step 3: Fill the Chocolate Shells
- Once set, carefully remove the chocolate halves from the mold.
- Fill half of the shells with 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix, mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and mini chocolate eggs.
Step 4: Seal the Hot Chocolate Bombs
- Warm a plate slightly and place an empty chocolate shell rim-side down on it to melt the edges slightly.
- Quickly press the warmed shell onto a filled half, sealing the bomb.
- Let them set for a few minutes.
Step 5: Decorate the Hot Chocolate Bombs
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top of the bombs for decoration.
- Sprinkle with edible glitter, sprinkles, or crushed candy for a festive look.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- To serve, place a hot chocolate bomb in a mug.
- Pour warm milk over it and watch as the bomb melts, releasing the cocoa mix and marshmallows.
- Stir well and enjoy!
Pro Tips for the Best Easter Hot Chocolate Bombs
- Use high-quality chocolate: This ensures smooth melting and great flavor.
