What Are Hot Cocoa Bombs?
Crafted from melted chocolate (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate all work!), these bombs feature a chocolate sphere stuffed with hot cocoa mix and every topping imaginable. Crushed peppermint, mini marshmallows, peanut butter, even a baby Yoda! Once added to a mug of hot milk the chocolate shell melts and creates a cup of hot cocoa. Just make sure to give it a good stir to incorporate all the hot chocolate powder in the mug.
The chocolatey treat is now a viral phenomenon on the popular app, Tiktok.

How to Make DIY Hot Cocoa Bombs
All you need to make this DIY Christmas gift is a silicone mold, chocolate melts, hot cocoa powder, and whatever toppings you want to add. Crushed up peppermint candy canes are always a great addition to hot chocolate!
In a microwave-safe bowl melt the chocolate chips until smooth.
Using the back of a spoon or a pastry brush, brush the chocolate onto the mold. Freeze 10-15 minutes to set.
Remove the chocolate from the molds and melt the edges on a warm plate. Fill the chocolate with hot chocolate mix and toppings, then press and seal the edges together.
