How to Make Butterbeer Hot Cocoa Bombs

Making these Butterbeer Hot Cocoa Bombs is simpler than it seems. Just follow these steps:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat butterscotch chips until completely melted and smooth.

3. Freeze the molds for 3-5 minutes until the butterscotch hardens.

5. Fill half of the butterscotch cups with 1 tablespoon of butterscotch hot cocoa mix and 5-10 popcorn marshmallows.
6. Seal the cocoa bombs by warming the open edge of the unfilled cups on a hot plate and pressing them onto the filled cups.

8. Let the butterscotch set, and your Butterbeer Hot Cocoa Bombs are ready to enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular hot cocoa mix instead of butterscotch?

While you can use regular hot cocoa mix, the butterscotch hot cocoa mix really brings out the Butterbeer flavor that makes this recipe unique.

How do I store Butterbeer Hot Cocoa Bombs?

Store your hot cocoa bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you live in a warm or humid climate, consider storing them in the refrigerator to prevent them from softening or melting. Just let them come to room temperature before using so that the chocolate melts properly when hot milk is poured over it.

What kind of milk should I use?

Whole milk is ideal for a rich, creamy hot chocolate, but you can use any type of milk, including plant-based options like almond or oat milk.
