Ingredients

  • 12 ounces bright white candy melts or white chocolate vtempered
  • ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon peppermint flavoring oil to taste
  • 1 recipe batch white cocoa mix from "Hot Cocoa Bombs" or ½ cup store-bought mix
  • Mini candy cane sprinkles
  • Peppermint marshmallows
  • candy cane shaped cake toppers optional
  • ½ cup dehydrated mini marshmallows
  • ¼ cup crushed candy canes optional
  • 2 ounces red candy melts or white chocolate tempered and colored red, for decorating
  • Extra candy cane sprinkles crushed candy canes, and/or candy cane toppers, for decorating

Instructions

  • If desired, add a sprinkle of the mini candy cane sprinkles to the bottom of a few of the molds. Melt the chocolate and thoroughly stir in the flavoring oil to taste. Pour 1-2 tablespoons melted chocolate into each mold and use a brush or the back of a spoon to make sure the chocolate fills in all of the mold and up the edges. Refrigerate 5 minutes to set. If the edges are thin, carefully brush more chocolate around the edges and refrigerate for 5 more minutes. Carefully unmold.
  • Set aside 6 of the shells for the tops. Melt the edges of 6 of the shells that will be the bottoms. Fill these cocoa bomb shells with: 1 tablespoon white cocoa mix, a good sprinkle of candy cane sprinkles, a peppermint marshmallow, a candy cane shaped candy topper, and a handful of dehydrated mini marshmallows. Melt the edges of the leftover shells and attach the tops. Let set.
  • Melt the 2 ounces of red candy melts or white chocolate and add to a piping bag or plastic bag. Snip a tiny part of the corner and pipe lines across the cocoa bombs. Sprinkle with a small amount of candy cane sprinkles, crushed candy canes, and/or a candy cane topper.
  • To make: Place a hot cocoa bomb in the bottom of a mug. Add 10 ounces of very hot milk and stir well.

Notes

  • Store finished cocoa bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
