Easter is coming quick and I’ve been looking for a unique and tasty addition to add to my niece’s Easter Basket. These Easter Hot Cocoa Bombs are perfect! It is a fun DIY project too. Have you tried making hot cocoa Bombs yet? I promise you they are actually pretty easy to make. To make these hot cocoa bombs with an Easter twist I used pink candy melts and an egg shaped mold, but you could use any color you wish. I chose pink because it is my niece’s favorite color! These would also make great gifts for family, friends, and neighbors.

Supplies/Ingredients:

6 tbsp hot cocoa mix powder
8 oz pink vanilla flavored candy melts
1-2 oz white vanilla flavored candy melts
½ cup mini marshmallows
Easter egg sprinkles https://amzn.to/31fxQau
Egg shaped mold https://amzn.to/3lNcoCQ
Large plate, measuring cups, measuring spoons, spoon or pastry brush, pastry bag or ziplock bag, small microwave safe bowls for melting candy

Directions:

Place a large plate into the freezer.
Pour pink candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments, stirring well between each heat session, until fully melted.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, coat each mold cavity with melted pink candy.
Freeze for 5 minutes.
Repeat step 3.
Pour rest of melted candy into pastry bag or ziplock bag.
Remove candy coated egg mold from the freezer. Fill each egg with 1 tablespoon cocoa and a few marshmallows, making sure not to fill past the top of the mold.

Reheat pink candy in the bag, if needed.
Snip the end off the bag and cover the cocoa/marshmallows with melted candy until you’ve reached the top of the mold.
Freeze for 5 minutes to set.
Remove egg mold and chilled plate from the freezer.
Unmold candy coated eggs and place on chilled plate.
Place white candy melt into a pastry or ziplock bag and heat for 30 seconds. Massage bag to help melt the candy. Heat for an additional 30 seconds if needed.
Snip the very corner of the bag off, and drizzle white candy over the top of each egg in a back and forth motion.
Add sprinkles on top of drizzled white candy.
To use, place cocoa bomb into mug and pour 6 ounces of hot milk over it, Stir and enjoy!
