What You’ll Need to Make Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bombs
Here are all of the ingredients and materials you’ll need to create these Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bombs:
Ingredients
- 2 cups of White Candy Melts
- ½ cups of Red Candy Melts
- 2 cups of Hot Chocolate Mix
- 2 cups of Mini Marshmallows
- ½ cup of Crushed Peppermint Candies
Equipment needed:
- Bath bomb mold or candy mold
How to Make Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bombs
Once you have everything listed above, you’re ready to get started! Here’s what you’ll need to do:
Step One
Put the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl then melt according to the directions on the package.
Step Two
Once melted, take 2 tablespoons of the melted white candy and fill the molds. Use the back of the spoon to spread it out up and down the sides and keep it thick so it’s sturdy. Do this for all the molds.
Step three
Pop in the freezer for 5 minutes to get firm.
Step four
Take the molds out of the freezer and give the sides a gentle tap. This will help to loosen the chocolate so it will come out without breaking.
Step five
Fill half of the molds (6) with 2 tablespoons of the hot chocolate mix, 1 teaspoon of the sprinkles, 1 teaspoon of the crushed peppermints, and up to 8 mini marshmallows.
Step six
Put a plate in the microwave and heat it until it’s warm to the touch. Take an empty half of the molds and press it open-faced down on the warm plate. Leave it for 10 seconds to start to melt that edge.
Step seven
Once you notice that it’s starting to melt, take that melted edge and place it on the other filled half of the mold.
Step eight
Put the red candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt according to the directions on the package.
Step nine
Using a fork, drizzle the melted red chocolate over the top of the cocoa bombs then follow up with adding sprinkles as well.
Store in airtight container until you’re ready to use!
