Delight in these charming Conversation Heart Hot Cocoa Bombs, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any cozy occasion. These delightful white chocolate spheres are filled with hot cocoa mix, mini marshmallows, and a festive conversation heart candy. Simply place a cocoa bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it to watch it magically melt and release a delicious hot chocolate treat with marshmallows afloat.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Shell

  • 16 ounces White Melting Chocolate (Chips or Almond Bark)
  • Assorted pastels Food Coloring Gel (pink, green, blue, purple, yellow, peach – your choice)
  • Melted White Chocolate (for drizzling and sealing)

Filling

  • 2 packets of Hot Cocoa Mix (about 1 heaping teaspoon per cocoa bomb)
  • 1 cup Mini Marshmallows (approx. 5 per cocoa bomb)
  • One package of Valentines Conversation Hearts (6 hearts total, one per bomb)

Serving

  • 6 cups Hot water or hot milk (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: Place the white melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it until smooth and creamy, stirring well to ensure no lumps remain.
  2. Color Chocolate: Divide the melted chocolate evenly into 5 small cups and add a drop of different food coloring gel to each cup to create five pastel colors.
  3. Coat Molds: Spoon or ladle the colored chocolate into silicone molds, making sure to coat the inside completely to form shells.
  4. Harden Shells: Pour any excess chocolate back into the bowl and refrigerate the molds for 15 minutes to let the chocolate harden. Carefully remove the chocolate halves and place six half-spheres in a row on a cookie sheet; these will be the bottoms of the cocoa bombs.
  5. Melt Bottom Edges: Heat a non-stick skillet on low and place one half ball with the open side down for a few seconds to slightly melt the edges; remove and place on a cookie sheet.
  6. Fill Bombs: Fill each melted bottom half with about 1 heaping teaspoon of hot cocoa mix, one conversation heart, and about 5 mini marshmallows.
  7. Melt Top Edges: Repeat the edge melting process with the other half spheres, melting the open edges just slightly.
  8. Seal Bombs: Quickly place the melted top half onto the filled bottom half, pressing gently and holding in place for a few seconds to seal them together.
  9. Set Cocoa Bombs: Once all bombs are assembled, refrigerate them for 30 minutes until completely set.
  10. Drizzle Chocolate: Melt additional white chocolate in the microwave at 15-second intervals until smooth, then pipe drizzles over each cocoa bomb and top with a conversation heart for decoration.
  11. Serve: To enjoy, place one cocoa bomb in a large mug and pour hot milk over it. The bomb will melt and bubble, releasing marshmallows and cocoa powder.
  12. Enjoy: Stir the melted cocoa and marshmallows until blended and enjoy your festive, creamy hot chocolate.

Notes

  • Use silicone molds designed for chocolate bombs for best results.
  • Be careful not to overheat white chocolate, as it can seize easily.
  • If white chocolate seizes, add a small amount of vegetable oil to smooth it out.
  • Store cocoa bombs in a cool, dry place or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute white chocolate with suitable dairy-free melting wafers and use plant-based milk for serving.
