Hocus Pocus Hot Chocolate Bombs

This recipe is pretty simple and more artistic so be sure to get the kids involved with proper adult supervision.

You will just need a few key ingredients and 1 kitchen item you might not have.

Ingredients:

1 cup black chocolate candy melts – For candy melts, I find them usually at Walmart or Target for fair prices.
1 cup orange candy melts
1 cup lavender candy melts
1 cup light green candy melts
4-5 mini marshmallows per bomb
2 TBL hot chocolate mix per bomb ( I prefer Swiss Miss but any mix will do).
6 Candy Eyeballls
Silicone Dome Mold

How to Make Hocus Pocus Hot Cocoa Bombs

1. Melt the black, purple, green, and orange candy melts as directed on the package.

2. Drop black candy melts in four spots in the dome mold. Drop orange candy melts opposite the black candy melts in the dome mold. Repeat this with the purple and the green. Lightly swirl the back of a spoon while coating the mold.

3. Make sure you cannot see the mold through the candy melts. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.

4. Once the candy melts are hardened remove the domes carefully. When the chocolate is set, it will be shiny and snappy and release easily from the molds. Set aside.

5. Heat a frying pan to low heat. Place the bomb edge side down into the pan. Melt slightly just to even out edges. Pull it up and fill it with two tablespoons of hot chocolate mix and marshmallows.

6. Quickly heat another dome edge and place it on top of the one with the cocoa mix. Make sure to align the domes well. Repeat for the other two hot chocolate bombs.

7. Use chocolate that has almost cooled and paint the back of a candy eyeball and place onto the hot chocolate bomb. Do not use hot chocolate or it will melt the bomb. Use cooled but still soft chocolate. This will adhere the eye to the bomb.

8. Keep in the fridge until ready to drink. If you need to keep longer place in the freezer for up to a month.

9. To prepare hot chocolate: Place the hot chocolate bomb in a mug; add 1 cup of warm milk and stir to dissolve.

First time making Hot Chocolate Bombs? Here are some tips to help you make this fun, themed treat for your Hocus Pocus Movie Night!

• Practice makes perfect. But who needs perfection? The first couple of times you make these they may not come out perfectly round or smooth. That is completely ok. Over time you will perfect your skills. You can tell mine are a little rough. They are homemade and your loved ones will love ’em. Make the shells thick enough. You should not see the silicone mold through the candy coating. Thin areas can crack during removal.
• What to do if your candy seizes. If the coating becomes too thick, stir in a small amount of coconut oil or candy-melt thinner. Add only a little at a time.
• Be Gentle. Be gentle when sealing the bombs together, don’t push too hard.
• Let melted coating cool before decorating. Very hot coating can melt a hole in the finished cocoa bomb.
• Let the kids handle the creative steps. Children can choose colors, add marshmallows, and attach the candy eyes. An adult should handle the hot pan and melted coating.
