Halloween Hot Chocolate Bombs

These fun, spooky Halloween Hot Chocolate Bombs are the perfect holiday treat.
Assembly Time 2 hours

Equipment

  • Cauldron Candy Mold
  • Microwave or Small Pot on the Stove Top
  • Bowls
  • Small Spatula or Spoon
  • Small Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 bag Candy Melts (in the color you want for your cauldron)
  • 1 bag Candy Melts (in the color you want for the bubbling stew)
  • 1 tin Hot Cocoa Mix
  • Sprinkles and Eyes
  • Marshmallows

Instructions

  • Melt the candy melts you are using for the cauldron in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until everything is smooth and combined. Alternatively, you may melt over low heat in a small pot on the stove top.
  • Using a small spatula, coat all sides of the cauldron candy mold with the melted candy melts and gently bang it on the counter to bring any bubbles to the surface. Rotate the tray to evenly coat all sides and place the mold into the fridge to cool, about 20 minutes.
  • When the first coat has set, add another layer of melted candy melts to the cauldron mold. Again place in the fridge to cool.
  • When the mold is completely cool and the candy melts are set, remove the shells by banging the candy side of the mold on the countertop in one swift motion, keeping the tray parallel with the counter.
  • Add the recommended cocoa serving to one half of the cauldron shell. If you can fit mini marshmallows in it while still being able to add the other half, do that as well, if you like.
  • Over a warm, flat pan, glide the open side of the other half of the cauldron shell to melt the candy melts once again and press it together with the other half, sealing them into one, solid piece.
  • Allow the seam to cool completely.
  • Heat the candy melts you are using for the bubbling brew over low heat or in the microwave as before.
  • By building layers, slowly add the bubbling brew to the top part of the cauldron, allowing thin layers to cool in between. This prevents the cauldron from heating up and melting the top.
  • While the last layer of bubbling brew is warm, add sprinkles and eyes.
  • Store in an airtight container.
