St. Patrick's Day Hot Cocoa Bombs
When you pour hot milk over them, these green St. Patrick's Day candy bombs explode in your mug, releasing rich white hot chocolate, Lucky Charms marshmallows and rainbow sprinkles.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vibrant green candy melts
- 2 cups white hot chocolate mix
- 18 Lucky Charms marshmallows
- ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Place green candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and melt according to the directions on the package. Stir until smooth.
- Place 1 Tablespoon of melted candy into each mold. Using the bottom of your measuring spoon or a clean, new paintbrush, press the candy up the sides of the mold, keeping it thick but even.
- Place the candy-coated molds into the freezer for 5 minutes to harden and set.
- Remove molds from the freezer. If using metal molds, gently tap the sides each mold, pressing on one side of the chocolate to make the candy shell slide out of the mold. If using a silicone mold, gently remove the shell from the molds.
- Fill 6 of the candy shells with 1 Tablespoon each of white hot chocolate mix and 2 or 3 Lucky Charms marshmallows.
- Heat a plate or a flat-bottom bowl in the microwave until the surface is warm to the touch.
- Press one of the empty candy shells, open side down, onto the warm plate for about 10 seconds. This will gently melt the rim of the chocolate cup.
- Immediately press the warmed edge onto one of the filled cups to join the two halves of the hot cocoa bomb together. If desired, add more melted green candy around the joint.
- Place the remaining candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package.
- Using a piping bag or a fork, drizzle the green candy melts over the assembled hot cocoa bombs. While the drizzled candy is still hot, decorate with rainbow sprinkles.
- Place the decorated hot chocolate bombs into the freezer for 5 minutes to speed up setting and hardening time. You can also leave them out on your counter to set. Remove from the freezer and store in an airtight container until you’re ready to use.
- To serve, place a hot cocoa bomb in the bottom of a mug and pour a cup of piping hot milk over the top. Stir until the hot cocoa bombs has completely melted and the powdered mix has dissolved.
