Ingredients Used for Harry Potter Hot Chocolate Bombs

For these bombs we used chocolate melts, our favorite hot cocoa mix, mini marshmallows, these awesome Mixed Wizard Sprinkles and Hedwig candies we found on Esty.

Of course if your making your own hot cocoa bombs as home, you can get creative and use whatever type of colored sprinkles and candy toppers you like to give that Harry Potter feel.

You’ll also need a hot chocolate bomb mold.

Picking your chocolate to melt

When choosing which kind of chocolate you want to act as the cocoa bomb itself you can use real chocolate or those candy melts found in the baking isle.

We used cake flavor candy melts! Which add a yummy flavor to our hot chocolate bombs.

You could choose any flavored candy you like though. During the holidays mint chocolate is a common fave and these would make delicious minty hot chocolate bombs.

Pinking Your Harry Potter Themed Toppings

To make your hot cocoa bombs scream Harry Potter, you need some fun sprinkles and toppers.

We used a pretty wizard mix sprinkle but they have some other great ones on Etsy too.

Amazon has fun Harry Potter themed sprinkles as well.

As far as candy toppers you can some fun white owl toppers here that would look amazing. Of course, you don’t absolutely need the toppers.

If you just have the colored sprinkles they’ll still look great.

How to Make Harry Potter Hot Cocoa Bombs

Alright, now that you have all the ingredients you need gathered to create you hot chocolate bombs, it’s time for the fun part, to start making them!

Creating your Hot Cocoa Shells

To make your Harry Potter hot cocoa bombs you’ll want to start by melting your chocolate candy melts. You can either melt in the microwave or use the double boil method.

Once your chocolate is completely melted you’ll want to start coating your hot cocoa bomb molds.

To do this place about 1 tablespoons worth of melted chocolate into the bomb mold and use a spoon to spread the chocolate over the entire area of the mold.

You want to make sure to cover the sides of the mold up to the edge of the cup, keeping it as thick and even as possible.

You’ll want them to look like the photo below.

Repeat with all 12 bomb mold halves.

Once your molds are filled, put the rest of your melted chocolate into a piping bag with a small tip or into a zip lock bag to use later to decorate your chocolate bombs.

Pop your chocolate molds into the freezer for about 5 minutes so they set quickly and keep their shapes.

Remove the molds from your freezer and then carefully remove each of the sphere halves from the hot cocoa mold.

Filling your Hot Cocoa Bombs

Now your bombs are ready to fill with the hot cocoa!

Fill up each 6 of your bomb halves with a tablespoon of hot chocolate mix, a teaspoon of harry potter themed sprinkles and several mini marshmallows.

Fusing the Hot Chocolate Bombs

Next, were going to melt the bomb halves together to create a full hot cocoa bomb.

To do this, heat a plate in the microwave until it’s warm to the touch. This will help us melt the edges of the bomb so they stick together.

Press on of the empty bomb halves open side down flat onto the plate for about 10 seconds. The edges should start to gently melt.

Next, quickly press the warmed edge to one of the filled cups so they join together.

Carefully hold your bomb still until the chocolate has cooled again and the bomb is fused together.

Decorating the Harry Potter Hot Cocoa Bomb

The best part of these cocoa bombs are all the fun Harry Potter toppings!

Next, using the left over melted chocolate we put in the piping bag. If you are using a zip lock back push all the chocolate to one corner and snip a tiny hole in the tip.

Drizzle the leftover melted chocolate all over the top of you hot cocoa bombs and immediately add in our harry potter sprinkles.

To finish off your hot cocoa bombs, add a small amount of the melted chocolate on the back of your owl candy decoration and attach it to the top of the bomb.

Once your bombs are complete, pop them in the freezer again for 5 minutes to allow them to set completely without the sprinkles or candies sliding off.

Now you can store your bombs in an air tight container or wrap up in cellophane and give as gifts.

To use the hot chocolate bombs, place one bomb in a large mug and pour 2 cups of hot milk over the top.

Stir until the hot cocoa bombs are completely melted and the cocoa mixed in.

Enjoy!
