Relaxing is what we need in the evening after a hard day’s work and hoping that we sleep well when we want to. This Lavender Hot Cocoa Bomb will definitely do the job.
There are days that are really becoming stressful. But, for me, taking my focus away from stress makes me feel much better. Although there are times that we can’t avoid it, remember there’s nothing good coming from it if you keep hanging with your stress.
I don’t want you to stress out and be depressed or get anxious (sorry for the negativities). Let’s relax, enjoy ourselves and make some hot cocoa bombs.
Speaking of relaxing, I believe, lavender can help out. Lavender is a flowering plant in the mint family and is known to have a sweet floral scent and health benefits..
Since the old, old days, lavender has been used to relieve anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, tooth aches, and skin irritations. It is said to even treat cancer, some mental health issues and hair loss.
So… if you know someone with a mental health issue, you know what to give… LOL!
Beside being plant and flowers, lavender are also available in forms of essential oil and tea. Today, let’s add up our Lavender Hot Cocoa Bombs.
To make it more special, these lavender hot cocoa bombs are in their cute heart shaped forms . If you like more marshmallows, prepare some heart marshmallow stirrers and use them to stir these delicious lavender hot cocoa bombs.
Here is how to make the Lavender Hot Cocoa Bombs.
I included the links on where you can find some of the ingredients and tools in case you don’t have them yet or not available in your nearest grocery stores.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Lavender Candy Melts
- 4 pcs Giant Marshmallows
- 1 cup Lavender Hot Chocolate Mix
- Heart Confetti Sprinkles
- Purple Rock Candy (paid links)
- Gold Shine Food Paint (optional)
Tools
- Diamond Heart Silicone Mold (paid link)
- Heart-shaped cookie cutter
- A small piping bag. A ziplock plastic bag will do. Just cut a small hole at one corner.
- Paint Flat Brush
Instructions
Place the lavender candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl then melt them in the microwave per the candy melt directions. Separate about half a cup and put it in a small piping bag. To be used later.
Get the marshmallows and create heart-shaped marshmallows using cookie cutter.
Carefully pour the melted lavender candy melts into the heart molds to create several pairs. Use the back of the spoon to spread the melted lavender candy to the side and until up to the edges of the mold.
Lay the heart-shaped marshmallows into the half hearts. Make sure these hearts have their pair.
Place the filled molds, including the ones with marshmallow heart into the freezer for at least 5 minutes to harden.
While the heart molds are still in the freezer, get the purple rock candies. Crush them further if needed. You can use a rolling pin and roll it over the candies. Put these candies on a bowl.
Assembling the diamond heart-shaped Lavender Hot Cocoa Bombs
Get the heart molds from freezer and carefully peel the silicone away to bring out the heart-shaped candy melts
Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of lavender hot chocolate powder mix into an empty half heart, and then fill with sprinkles.
Get the small piping bag with melted lavender candy melts and then pipe out the melted candy on the edges of the half hearts with sprinkles and chocolate powder mix.
Immediately place the half heart with marshmallow on top of the half heart with chocolate powder and sprinkles. Carefully put a bit of pressure until the two hearts are sealed together.
There will be some excess melted candies squeezed out at the side. Immediately bring this heart-shaped lavender hot cocoa bombs over the purple rock candies. Press and roll this side part until all the side is filled with purple rock candies.
Get the Shine food paint ready according to instructions. Add a few drops of water for a thinner consistency. Using a flat brush, paint the top part of the Lavender hot cocoa bombs thinly and then set aside to dry.
To serve:
Place one in a mug and pour hot milk over the top. Stir until the lavender hot cocoa bomb is completely dissolved!
