Guilt-free popcorn snacks to make movie nights more fun
Hot Cocoa Popcorn Bombs
Our Hot Cocoa Popcorn Bombs are filled with delicious hot cocoa mix, mini marshmallows and popcorn for a fun twist on these trendy treats. If you’ve seen hot cocoa bombs on the internet but haven’t tried them yet, they are so much fun. You can buy them already made but they’re easy to make yourself and then you can customize them. Plus it’s loads of fun as a project with kids with a delicious reward at the end.
The bombs consist of a chocolate sphere, made in an inexpensive silicone mold. They’re filled with hot cocoa mix and mini marshmallows. A little heat from a warm plate melts the edges of the two halves of the mold just enough to stick together and form a ball. When ready to serve, just heat up some milk, put the ball into a cup and pour the milk over. The heat from the liquid will melt the chocolate and the ball will pop open, which is the fun part. Once you see the marshmallows explode to the surface, just stir to combine the hot cocoa mix into the milk. The chocolate from the outer shell will melt as well so you’ll have an extra rich, extra chocolately cup of hot cocoa. What’s not to love about that, right?
Once you’ve mastered making these balls – and trust us that “mastered” happens after a single try – you can customize them as much as your imagination will allow. Dark instead of milk chocolate. A layer of peanut butter inside the chocolate. White chocolate drizzled over the top. There are so many decoration possibilities alone. We kept it simple with some of our chocolate caramel popcorn seasoning sprinkled on top and the crunch and texture of a little popcorn inside the ball. These also make amazing gifts!
