How to Make this Valentine's Day Hot Cocoa Bombs Recipe

Directions for making this Valentine Hot Cocoa Bombs Recipe:

Add your Wilton Red candy melts to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the candy melts for 60 seconds at 50% power and then stir them up.

Return to the microwave and microwave for 30 seconds, stirring until they reach a smooth consistency. You may need to microwave for an additional 30 seconds - just make sure not to burn them!

Add a dollop of melted candy into one cavity of the mold. Use the back of the spoon to drag the melted candy to spread in the mold. Repeat until all 6 molds are full.

You will have leftover melted candy and need to reserve it. Remove the spoon from the bowl and set it aside for later. Place the silicone mold into the freezer for 10 minutes.

Reheat the red candy if no longer soft and remove mold from the freezer, add a second layer of melted candy spreading it up the sides just like the first time. Return to the freezer to harden.

Heat a small fry pan over medium heat and remove. Remove spheres from the mold and set onto a flat surface. Use the pan to place the sphere, open side down, onto the hot pan for 1-2 seconds for the edge to smooth and flatten.

Set rounds on to a flat surface and fill with marshmallows and conversation hearts.

Place a sphere, open side down, onto the hot pan and gently press it on top of a filled sphere. Hold it together for a few seconds. Let stand to harden.

Add your Wilton white candy melts to a resealable bag but do not seal it!

Microwave the white chocolate melts at 50% power for 30 seconds. Flip the bag over and repeat, kneading the bag until smooth.

You are going to cut a small tip into the corner of the bag - think like using a frosting tip, you want it precise and sharp - and then drizzle the candy over the top of the hot cocoa bombs.

Add your Valentine's sprinkles and make sure to spread them evenly for the best presentation. Let them stand to harden.

How to Make Hot Cocoa for your Hot Chocolate Bombs

Heat 1 cup of milk in the microwave or on the stove until hot. Place hot cocoa bomb into a mug and slowly pour milk onto the bomb.

Stir until the hot chocolate bombs are completely dissolved and then top with additional marshmallows and conversation hearts before serving.
