St. Patrick’s Day Hot Cocoa Bombs
Similar to the other bomb recipes, this one uses an Instant Pot egg bites mold that allows you to seal the bombs without fusing spheres together.
You can use other silicone molds, but this one is working well for us and seems to make sealing the candy a bit easier.
If you’re looking for a cute way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, these lucky leprechaun hot cocoa bombs are a great way to do so.
Lucky Hot Cocoa Bombs Ingredients
(Measurements are in the recipe card below.)
- Green candy melts
- White chocolate chips
- Rainbow dehydrated marshmallows
- Hot chocolate mix
- Edible glitter
- St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles
Green Cocoa Bombs Directions
Melt the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl by heating at 50% power for 60 seconds. Stir well and repeat until they are completely melted.
Spoon a dollop of the melted green candy into an egg cup. Drag the spoon up to evenly coat the sides of the mold. Repeat, filling 4-5 additional slots in the mold. You will not use all the chocolate. Freeze the mold for 15 minutes.
Remove the mold from the freezer and fill each section with 1 tablespoon of hot chocolate. Add the dehydrated rainbow marshmallows to fill the bombs.
If necessary, reheat the remaining green chocolate until soft. Spoon a dollop on top of each mold and spread evenly to coat. Make sure to completely seal the bombs. Freeze for another 15 minutes.
Remove the mold from the freezer and gently pull the chocolate away from the mold before inverting the mold and peeling it away from the cup. Place the bomb round side up on a piece of wax paper.
Add the white chocolate chips to a resealable sandwich bag and microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power and knead the bag. Repeat until the chocolate is completely melted. Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle on top of the bombs.
Top with the St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles right away. Let them stand to harden.
Spray edible gold glitter to the bottom edges of the bombs.
To use the green hot chocolate bombs, add one to a mug and pour hot milk over the top.
Mix well until all the candies are melted and the hot chocolate mix is dissolved.
Top with additional marshmallows if desired.
