St Patrick’s Day Hot Chocolate Bombs

February 14, 2021 by Amber 10 Comments

St Patrick’s Day Hot Chocolate Bombs are made with hot cocoa mix, milk chocolate melting wafers, green candy melts, sprinkles and Lucky Charms marshmallows made into a sphere that burst open in hot milk. 

It has been snowing the past week here in Cincinnati like crazy and the kids had the first official snow day of the season so we had have a bit of fun! After sledding in the backyard, we all cozied up around the kitchen island and shared a moment with these hot chocolate bombs before venturing back into the snow. Okay, well the kids went back out. I snuggled with the dogs inside watching them from the window. Snow day perfection. 

St Patrick’s Day Hot Chocolate Bombs

St Patrick’s Day Hot Chocolate Bombs are not only fun but they taste amazing! A mug filled with chocolaty goodness that is soul warming and indulgent. If you haven’t had a hot chocolate bomb before, it really is something you need to try. As the warm milk is poured over the chocolate bomb, it bursts open and all the marshmallows float up to the top as you stir to mix the ingredients together. A great little dessert moment to share with friends and family.

What You Need

  • Hot Cocoa Mix
  • Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers
  • Green Candy Melts
  • Lucky Charms Marshmallows
  • Sprinkles
  • Whipped cream
  • Milk 
  • 1/2 Sphere Chocolate Mold (medium-sized, 2 1/2 inch diameter)
  • Spoon
  • Small Ceramic Plate
  • Parchment paper and a small plastic bag for green drizzle


PROCESS

Start with the Half Sphere Chocolate Molds. The medium-sized, 2 1/2 inch diameter mold are the perfect size. Melt the Chocolate Wafers in 30 second intervals, stirring between until completely melted. Pour the melted chocolate in even portions into each sphere mold. Use the back of a spoon to manipulated the melted chocolate up the sides. Place the molds in the freezer for 20 minutes to set up before continuing to next step. 

Carefully release the chocolate from each mold leaving you with 12 half spheres. Set up a working station with your spheres, cocoa powder, sprinkles, marshmallows and a hot plate. For your hot plate, microwave a ceramic plate for a minute or until it almost too hot to touch. Be careful! 

Tip

Save a few chocolate wafers just in case you need to fix a little break when removing spheres from the molds. 

Assemble

Work quickly to assemble each mold into a nice round sphere with all the delicious goodies inside. 

  1. Place a half sphere onto the hot plate to even out the edge. 
  2. Add 2 Tablespoons hot cocoa mix, some sprinkles and marshmallows inside the half sphere. 
  3. Grab another half sphere and place it on the hot plate until it is even and slightly melty. Put the two half spheres together. 
  4. Repeat until all 6 spheres are complete. 

Tip

A little bit of chocolate will melt off onto the hot plate. If needed, you can dip your finger in this chocolate and place it where needed to get a better seal when creating the spheres.

Finishing Touch

Finish off each sphere with a little decoration. Melt down some green candy melts, pour into a small plastic bag with a tiny cut on an edge and drizzle over each sphere. Immediately add a pinch of sprinkles to each and a marshmallow.  For easy clean up in this step,  place chocolate bombs on some parchment paper before doing your drizzle.
