What is a Hot Chocolate Bomb?
Hot chocolate bombs are an enjoyable and easy way to have a good time with hot chocolate. They are chocolate spheres made by pouring melted chocolate into half sphere molds. Before sealing the spheres, you fill them with hot chocolate mix, marshmallows, and other yummy things. Once sealed, you can either keep them for yourself or give them to someone special.
When you’re ready to enjoy it, you simply put the chocolate ball filled with hot chocolate goodies into a mug, and pour hot milk over it. The warm milk melts the chocolate sphere, causing the insides of the bomb to pop open. Then you stir it all together to make a delicious hot chocolate.
You can purchase them from places like Amazon, Etsy, and local shops, but they can be pricey. Making your own hot chocolate bombs is actually quite easy and doesn’t require much effort. It may take a little time and practice to get it just right, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll find it’s a breeze to make hot chocolate bombs at home.

How to make Hot Chocolate with Hot Chocolate Bombs
To use your hot chocolate bombs, warm up 2 cups of milk either in the microwave or on the stove.
Next, place the hot chocolate bomb into your mug of warm milk. As the milk heats up, it will melt the chocolate, allowing the hot cocoa filling inside to emerge.
Use a spoon to stir the milk and the contents of the hot chocolate bomb together, creating a delightful cup of hot chocolate.
How Much Hot Milk do I need to make hot chocolate with a Hot Chocolate bomb?
Depending on the size of them you will need 1 – 1.5 cups of milk. For a stronger flavor use less milk, but I suggest never using less than one cup of milk.
How long do hot chocolate bombs last?
Homemade Hot chocolate bombs will stay fresh for up to 2 months if stored in an airtight container in a cool place. You can store them in the fridge if you want to and I suggest doing so if your house is really warm.
How to Store Hot Chocolate Bombs
Allow the Snowman’s Face hot chocolate bombs to set completely after you have made them before storing them.
Place the hot chocolate bombs in an airtight container to protect them from moisture, which can cause the chocolate to become soggy or lose its texture.
It is important to store the hot chocolate bombs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as excessive heat can cause the chocolate to melt and lose its shape.
While it’s generally not necessary to store hot chocolate bombs in the fridge, if the temperature is quite warm, you can store the hot chocolate bombs in the refrigerator. However, make sure to place them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap to prevent them from absorbing any odors from the refrigerator.
Can I Freeze Hot chocolate bombs?
Freezing hot chocolate bombs is not recommended, as it can affect the texture and flavor of the chocolate and the fillings. Additionally, condensation can form on the chocolate when it’s removed from the freezer, causing it to become soggy.
Tips for Making Hot Chocolate Bombs
If you are just getting started with making hot chocolate bombs make sure to check out my how to make hot chocolate bombs post with all the information and tips and tricks to making hot chocolate bombs.
Make sure the chocolate is melted thoroughly. You want to make sure the chocolate is smoothly melted before you use it in the chocolate molds. You can microwave per the directions on the package or melt the chocolate with a double boiler.
Allow the chocolate to harden fully. While you might be impatient like myself, when you are placing the chocolate in the freezer to harden back up it is important. You need to let it fully harden or you will have issues removing it from the molds, and you will have issues with the chocolate bombs falling apart.
Use good quality chocolate. Using chocolate melts is the easiest way to go but using a higher quality chocolate will give you a better hot chocolate flavor. If you are wanting a rich and deep chocolate flavor then stick with areal chocolate over candy melts.
Use the right type of mold. If you are using chocolate then you can use acrylic molds or silicone molds, if you are using candy melts then it is a must to use silicone molds.
Create a sturdy shell: Ensure the chocolate shell of the bomb is thick enough to withstand the hot liquid. Thicker shells are less likely to crack and will melt slowly when hot milk is poured over them.
What mold is best for making hot chocolate bombs?
You can use silicone molds, acrylic molds, or metal molds. I think that using silicone molds is better because it’s basically foolproof. You can really use any size that you want to and some molds in different shapes can be used as well.
I prefer using the smaller spheres when I am making them for the kids, but when I am gifting them I like to use the larger spheres because I can fill them with more hot cocoa and fun fillings.
If you are using candy melts when making easy hot chocolate bombs, then you will have to use silicone molds instead of using acrylic molds. If you are using melted chocolate then you can use either type of mold to make hot chocolate bombs.
