Hot Chocolate Bombs take just a few ingredients and you can make a variety of flavors! You can make these hot cocoa bombs into coffee bombs by adding your favorite cappuccino flavor!

Hot Chocolate Bombs

Hot chocolate bombs (or hot cocoa bombs) have been a huge hit this year thanks to TikTok.

It’s for good reason, too! They’re incredibly easy to make and they’re so much more fun watching them pop open and fill your mug with marshmallows and cocoa!

Kids love them, adults love them, and stores can’t keep them on the shelves. That’s okay, though. They’re incredibly easy to make at home.

You can get creative with different colors, flavors, and candies. One of my favorite ways to create a hot chocolate bomb is to add some coffee and turn them into coffee bombs!

Cappuccino Coffee Bombs

Adding your favorite cappuccino mix to the inside of your hot chocolate bomb gives these hot chocolate bombs and flavorful and delicious caffeine kick.

I’ve been making a cappuccino and hot chocolate mix for a while now but I have to admit, I really enjoy the marshmallows popping out of the chocolate and the cappuccino and cocoa mix melting into the hot water.

Hot Chocolate Bombs Variations

It’s fun to get creative with these delightful hot chocolate bombs. Hot cocoa is classic but you can switch up the flavors to create a white chocolate cocoa bomb using white chocolate cocoa powder with crushed peppermint candies.

It takes just a tablespoon of white chocolate cocoa mix and a small handful of marshmallows to fill up the chocolate cavities. Combined with a small teaspoon of crushed peppermints and you have one tasty creation!

Using white chocolate, almond bark, or white candy coating is a great way to mix up colors if you’re feeling festive. I use gel colors to change my candy coloring as it doesn’t take much and it’s much more consistent than using liquid dye drops.

Adding a few tablespoons of your favorite cappuccino mix along with some hot cocoa mix and some marshmallows creates a warm chocolatey caffeinated drink.

French Vanilla cappuccino mix would work great with white chocolate coffee bombs as an English Toffee or Mocha cappuccino would work best with chocolate coffee bombs. Either way, when adding coffee to the mix, you have now created delicious and fun coffee bombs!

These fun treats also make great gifts! They’re easy enough to make that you can knock quite a few out in not much time at all.

The hardest part of making these hot chocolate bombs is picking and choosing flavors!

Tips for Hot Chocolate Bombs

Personally, for me that most frustrating thing about making these hot cocoa bombs is the seams! I’m far from perfect at it and it may just be my lack of patience (heh…).

I have found that heating a small skillet on low with a square of parchment paper inside to keep the skillet clean is a good start.

After the chocolate is molded and ready to fill, I place the open part of the sphere onto the warm skillet and gently twist for a second before removing the sphere and placing into parchment paper..

A tablespoon of hot cocoa powder and a small handful of marshmallows are then added to the inside of that sphere.

The process of melting the edges are then done on the other piece of the sphere and then carefully and gently placed on top of the other.

At this time, it will either be seamless or some smudging with the back of a spoon will help seal the edges.

I’m not an expert by any means and I’ve seem some beautiful hot chocolate bombs out there!

This is a fun, creative, and tasty thing to create and doesn’t need to be perfect! Kids can help out too by filling these hot cocoa bombs with the cocoa powder, melting candies, and marshmallows.
