Wintertime treats are a favorite of mine since getting through the long and dark months of the year can feel like a personal challenge. I’ve never been officially “diagnosed” with Seasonal Affective Disorder but just by living with myself the last (almost) 37 years, I can tell you that my mood takes major dips in January, February, and March of ANY year. The short days and the cold temperatures are super hard for me. I don’t know if you can relate too, but one thing that gets me through the harder days is creating small moments of joy to look forward to. Extra points if they’re moments of joy that can be shared! That was the idea behind these super cute, and delicious, Hot Chocolate Bombs that we made! Valentine’s Day is only a few short days away, so feel free to create these as a perfect Galentine’s Treat….or be like me and make them to enjoy at home with your own fam!
My kids love plopping these into a steamy cup of milk, giving a stir, and watching the hot chocolate and marshmallows “explode” in their cups, then swirl all around to make the yummiest hot chocolate. You could even fill these with hot cocoa and lucky charms marshmallows for St. Patty’s Day Hot Chocolate Bombs! Whatever way you use these, I hope they bring you a lot of coziness and a nice smile.
If you feel like gifting them, you can use our printable tags below, to make them a little more special!

Step 1:
Melt Chocolate
Defrost white chocolate in the microwave for 1 min and then 30-second intervals following until chocolate is liquid.
Step 2:
Fill Mold
Fill chocolate molds individually with the chocolate, making sure to really coat the sides and the bottom. Next, place it in the freezer for 10 minutes to harden.
Step 3:
Pop out Molds
Pop the chocolate out of the molds and fill half of them with hot cocoa mix and mini marshmallows.
Step 4:
Heat and Stick
Take the chocolate molds that aren’t filled and briefly heat up the edges in a skillet on the stove. You should only keep it on a low heated skillet for a couple of seconds and then place it onto the filled half- completing the hot chocolate bomb.
Step 5:
Decorate
Decorate by drizzling white chocolate and sprinkles over the tops of the balls and place them into mini cupcake foils.
