What You Need To Make Hot Chocolate Bombs
What You Need To Make Hot Chocolate Bombs Silicone Mold – I recommend getting silicone molds. They work great at carefully removing the chocolate without running the risk of breaking as easily as a mold that is not flexible.
Brush – You can use a silicone brush or even a paint brush to paint the chocolate on the inside of the silicone molds. This is a great way to ensure you get a nice even coating.
Chocolate – I recommend using candy melts. That way you have a bright colored candy melt that will harden easily. Coloring white chocolate can cause it to seize out.
Peppermint Candies – You can use crushed candies or candy cane for topping. It will also add a nice minty flavor to your hot chocolate.
Hot Chocolate Mix – Feel free to buy and use any flavor or brand of hot chocolate you would like. Go ultra rich or even a white chocolate hot chocolate.
Marshmallows – Use mini marshmallows or dehydrated marshmallows. Either will work great.
Variations To Christmas Hot Chocolate Bombs
- Decorate with festive sprinkles. Just make sure they will melt easily so they are not a choking hazard for little kids.
- Use any color of melting chocolate! Green, turquoise, or other colors could be fun.
- Change up the flavor of hot chocolate you use.
- Drizzle on different colors of chocolate to alter the look of the bombs.

Storing Hot Chocolate Bombs
You can store your hot chocolate bombs in an airtight container on the counter. They will store for a few weeks on the counter. Just make sure they are covered in a container or sealed in a bag.
You can also freeze the balls but just make sure that you allow them to fully thaw before you pour milk over them, or they will not melt properly from frozen.
