How to Make the Ghost Hot Cocoa Bombs
There are only 3 basic ingredients in making these hot cocoa bombs. Just 3 ingredients! That means these ghost hot cocoa bombs are so easy.
The chocolate pearls and the black licorice jelly beans are for decorations. Actually, you can change them, especially if you like using piping bags. If you can’t find those “facial features” for your ghost hot cocoa bombs, you can use some chocolate bars, melt them and pipe them out to make their eyes and mouth.
For the white chocolate hot cocoa mix, I like the Ghirardelli. Feel free to use your favorite white cocoa mix.
However, I wanna make it easier for you. So I included the links on where you can buy those ingredients just in case you are still looking for them.
Now, this is how you make the scary ghost hot cocoa bombs.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Vanilla flavored White candy melts
- 1 cup White Hot Cocoa Mix
- 2 cups Mini White Marshmallows
- Dark Chocolate Pearls
- Black Licorice Jelly Beans
Tools
- Silicone sphere molds – something like this one.
- Piping bag – you can use a ziplock plastic bag and cut one of the corners
Instructions
Place vanilla flavored candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package.
Place 1 tbsp melted candy melt into one half of a bomb mold and, using the bottom of your tablespoon or measuring spoon, press the melted candy up the sides of the mold, keeping it thick but even. Do with 12 bomb mold halves.
Leave about 2 Tbsp of melted candy melts and place in a small piping bag to be used later.
Place the vanilla-filled bomb molds into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Remove molds from the freezer and gently tap the sides of the mold, pressing on one side of the vanilla to make them slide out of the mold.
Fill 6 of the molds with 1- 2 tbsp hot cocoa mix (depends on how chocolatey you want it) and several marshmallows.
Putting the Ghost Hot Cocoa Bombs all Together
Heat a plate or a flat-bottom bowl in the microwave until the surface of the plate is warm to the touch. Then press one of the empty bomb halves open-side-down onto the flat portion of the warm plate for about 10 seconds. This will gently melt the rim of the cup. Immediately press this warmed edge cup to the top of one of the filled cups. This will join the two halves of the hot cocoa bomb. Alternatively, you can pipe a little melted vanilla-flavored candy on the rim’s edge.
With the melted vanilla candy melts in a small piping bag, pipe out 3 small dots where you will attach the “eyes and the mouth”. Use the chocolate pearls for the eyes and the Black licorice jelly beans for the mouth.
Place the ghost hot cocoa bombs into the freezer for 5 minutes to get them to set, then remove and store in an airtight container until you’re ready to use.
To use the hot cocoa bombs: place them in a mug and pour 2 cups of hot milk over the top. Stir until the hot cocoa bombs are completely melted and enjoy!
To store: Place in a clean air-tight container and refrigerate for up to a month.
