The best thing about white chocolate hot chocolate bombs is how fun they are to watch, when you pour hot milk on them! Once you put them in a hot chocolate mug and start pouring hot milk on the out of a cup with a spout, hot milk starts melting the outside of the chocolate bomb. The heat opens up the hot cocoa bomb, and releases cocoa powder, marshmallows and fun sprinkles. Once that happens, everything starts melting into the hot chocolate. Now, just mix everything together, and you are ready to drink your delicious hot cocoa.

How To Make White Chocolate Hot Cocoa Bombs

Here is the simple, step by step recipe. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card, for all the tips, techniques and frequently asked questions!

Melt white chocolate melts in the microwave safe bowl.

Melted White Chocolate

Spread melted white chocolate inside the hot chocolate bomb mold. You can spread them with your finger, a tea spoon or a pastry brush. I prefer to use a tea spoon, but you can use whatever works for you. Put the hot chocolate bomb mold in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Hot Chocolate Molds

Take the molds out of the freezer. Spread another thin layer of melted white chocolate inside the mold. We do this, as the shells are very brittle, and adding another layer of chocolate makes them thicker and less likely to break. Put the mold in the freezer for another 15 minutes.

Hot Chocolate Molds with White Chocolate

Take hot chocolate bomb mold out of the freezer. Gently pop out the chocolate spheres, making sure that they don’t bread.

White Chocolate Half Spheres

Warm up a microwave safe plate in the microwave. Put each half sphere on the plate for about a second or so, so that the edges warm up. Fill up half of the half spheres with cocoa powder, mini marshmallows and some heart sprinkles. Put an empty half sphere over a full one, and bring the warmed up edges together, so that they stick together.

Instructions

  • Microwave white chocolate melts in the microwave safe bowl, until they are melted.
    Follow the instruction on the package, or microwave for 30 seconds at a time, then mix the melts, and microwave for 30 seconds more, until they are melted.
  • Spread melted chocolate inside your hot chocolate bomb mold.
    Spread them with a small spoon, or a pastry brush. Make sure to spread the chocolate in an even layer all the way around the round mold. Once you spread them in an even layer, put the hot chocolate bomb mold in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Sometimes you can use the molds with just one layer, but we prefer to make the second layer, to make the chocolate molds more sturdy.
    To make the second chocolate layer, spread another thin layer of melted white chocolate on the hardened chocolate inside the hot chocolate bomb mold. Put the mold back in the freezer for another 15-20 minutes.
  • Take hot chocolate bomb mold out of the freezer. Next, gently pop out the white chocolate half spheres, making sure that they don't break.
  • Put an empty microwave safe plate in the microwave. Warm it up for a minute, so that you can melt the top edges of the half spheres.
    Put half sphere on the plate for about a second or so, and gently turn it around. You want the edges of the half spheres to warm up a bit, so that you can put the hot chocolate bombs together.
    Fill up half of the half spheres with cocoa powder, mini marshmallows and some heart sprinkles.
    Put an empty half sphere over a full one, and bring the warmed up edges together, so that they stick together.
    Put a bit more melted white chocolate melts on the hot chocolate bomb. Sprinkle with heart sprinkles.
  • Put a hot chocolate bomb inside a mug. Pour warm milk into a glass with a spout. Carefully pour milk in the mug with hot chocolate bomb. Watch the hot cocoa ball open up, and make delicious hot chocolate!
    Serve with Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon and Ham and Egg Cups.
