Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Trivet
  • silicone egg molds

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces red candy melts
  • 2 cups marshmallows
  • 7 tablespoons hot cocoa powder
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Turn your instant pot onto sauté mode. Place one and a half cups of water inside your instant pot. Place a glass bowl that will fit in your instant pot as it will act as a double broiler.
  • Add in your candy melts to the bowl. Continue to mix until the chocolate has completely melted.
  • Lightly grease the inside of your silicone molds. Add chocolate to your molds making sure that chocolate is completely coating the mold on the inside. Place in the freezer for about five minutes.
  • Remove your molds from the freezer. Add half a tablespoon of cocoa powder and about 4 marshmallows per mold.
  • Add more of your melted chocolate on top of the marshmallows to close the mold and lock the cocoa and marshmallows from coming out. Return to the freezer for about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove your cocoa bombs by pushing on the silicone side of the mold until the bomb pops out.
  • With a spoon, drizzle your remaining chocolate over the bombs. Immediately add your sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
  • Please one or two bombs in your favorite mug and pour hot milk over it to melt the chocolate releasing the hot cocoa and marshmallows.
  • Stir with a spoon and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure your candy melts are completely melted and smooth before adding them to the mold. If you see any lumps, break them up with a spoon or fork until they are fully melted.
  • If you want to give these as gifts, place in an airtight container and add a fun tag for gifting.
  • If you want to make these festive bombs pink, you can use pink candy melts or white candy melts and pink food coloring.
