How to Make White Chocolate Hot Cocoa Bombs

- Melt the chocolate with the cupcake flavoring and add in the funfetti sprinkles.
- Spoon the chocolate into molds and allow to harden in the fridge.
- Fill half of the half-spheres with the filling.
- Dip the empty halves into melted chocolate and seal the balls.
- Allow to set.
- Drizzle over melted chocolate and top with sprinkles.
Heat up your milk gently on the stovetop in the microwave. Place a cocoa bomb in the bottom of a mug, and pour heated milk over the top. The cocoa bomb will melt and bubble, and the marshmallows will float to the top. Stir the powdered cocoa until you have a rich, chocolatey drink. Your hot cocoa will be pretty perfect as is, but feel free to add in some extra marshmallows or whipped cream for a real treat!
These hot cocoa bombs are so easy to adapt to your tastes and any occasion. Use different colored chocolate wafers and sprinkles and try using a flavored hot cocoa mix like peppermint or orange. Go crazy with the candy filling!
These white chocolate hot cocoa bombs are made with shelf-stable ingredients, so they will keep well for 2 weeks, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator. This makes them ideal to give as gifts, or make a big batch to enjoy whenever you need a pick me up! Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Take care not to overheat your chocolate. Melt it in increments and stir after each heating if making in the microwave. Alternatively, slowly melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
- Use gloves when handling the balls and work quickly, so you don’t accidentally melt them or leave finger marks.
- Be gentle when combining the two half spheres together, don’t push them hard or they can crack.
