How to Make Unicorn Hot Chocolate Bombs
Add the vanilla almond bark to a microwave-safe bowl and melt the chocolate according to the package directions.
I microwave mine for 60 seconds at 50% power, twice, stirring between each session in the microwave.
Add one spoonful of melted white chocolate to a resealable sandwich bag and set aside.
The mold shown here is an Instant Pot egg bites pan. It measures 8.25″ in diameter and about 2″ high.
Add one dollop of melted white chocolate to an egg cup mold. Drag the chocolate up the sides of the mold so it’s covered.
Repeat to fill three cavities of the mold. You will not use all the chocolate.
Freeze for 10 minutes. Remove from the freezer and add one tablespoon of hot chocolate mix to each cavity.
Top with rainbow marshmallows and sprinkles, making sure to keep them as level as possible in the mold so you can seal it properly.
If necessary, microwave the remaining chocolate.
Spoon a dollop of the melted white chocolate onto the top of the marshmallows and sprinkles and smooth it out evenly to form a seal.
Freeze for 15 minutes.
Remove the mold from the freezer and carefully pull away the sides of the mold from the hot chocolate bomb.
Flip over the mold and peel it away from the bomb. Place it on a flat surface.
Microwave the small bag of chocolate for 15 seconds at 50% power. Knead the bag until it’s completely melted and smooth.
If necessary, return to the microwave for another heating cycle.
Snip the tip of the bag and pipe a line of chocolate on top of the bomb and attach the candy horn and ears.
Add the flowers and decorations.
Finally, pipe some white chocolate onto the top and sprinkle unicorn sprinkles on top.
Let set to harden.
Use the candy pen to draw on the unicorn eyes and any other facial features if you choose.
To use the unicorn hot chocolate bomb, place into a mug and pour hot milk over it.
Stir to dissolve and release the contents of the hot chocolate bomb.
Sip carefully and don’t burn your tongue on the white hot chocolate!
Please be sure to let everything fully dissolve before drinking. Check your kids’ mugs for large pieces before serving.

Where can I buy Unicorn Hot Chocolate Bombs?

The mold used here is an Instant Pot egg bites mold. Silicone molds are the easiest to use. These hot chocolate bombs are easier to seal since you don’t have to fuse together two sides of a sphere. The flat bottom also allows the unicorn to sit upright.
Where do you buy the candy unicorn horn with ears?
I found the flowers and unicorn horns and ears at JOANN, and both of them worked perfectly! The horns are nice and sturdy and easy to work with. The sprinkles are Cake Mate Unicorn Love.
