Tips to Make cake Flavored Hot Cocoa Bombs
- If you are new to making these delicious treats, check out the tips and tricks I share on this DIY hot cocoa bombs tips page. It’s CHOCKFULL of goodies.
- No matter what, never make cocoa bombs with regular chocolate chips like you use for chocolate chip cookies. Especially if you want a white cocoa bomb. Difficult to work with is the honest truth about melting regular chocolate chips. Even that supposedly awesome almond bark. Don’t bother yourself with it. Instead, use candy melts. Perfect for melting and molding, plus they’re sometimes flavored like these birthday cake melting discs. Yum.
- The cake flavoring is only done with the candy melts, and that’s more than adequate in my opinion. But, if you were feeling a little silly, you could always use birthday cake marshmallows like these. But I didn’t – totally a personal preference, but I just couldn’t wait for shipping since I had the candy melts in hand.
- The way you get the most awesome experience with hot cocoa bombs is to warm your milk up real hot in a microwaveable glass measuring cup, then drop your bomb in the mug, pour that hot milk over the top of the bomb and let it explode, revealing your marshmallows and mix!

Birthday Cake Hot Cocoa Bombs
Super easy to make, these birthday cake hot cocoa bombs are perfect for a birthday hot cocoa bomb - you could even put a candle on top!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Mixed Confetti Sprinkles
- 2 cups Birthday Cake Flavored Candy Melts
- 2 cups White Hot Chocolate Mix
- 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
Instructions
- Place the birthday cake flavored candy melts in a bowl and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package, or per your preferred melting method. Stir well to make sure the candy melts are completely melted and smooth.
- Place about 2 tbsp of the white melted chocolate into one mold cavity and, using the bottom of a spoon, move the melted candy up and around the sides of the mold, keeping it thick and even. Repeat with 12 bomb molds then place the molds into your freezer for about 5 minutes to set.
- Place the rest of your unused melted chocolate into a piping bag or zipper bag to use later as a drizzle.
- Remove the set bomb molds from the freezer and carefully peel the silicone away from the chocolate.
- Add about 1 tbsp of the white hot chocolate mix and 5-6 of the marshmallows along with 1 tsp of sprinkles into six of the chocolate cups. Warm-up a plate in the microwave until the center of the plate is warm to the touch.
- Press the open side of an empty chocolate cup onto the middle of the warmed plate for about 10 seconds in order to gently melt the rim. Immediately fit this chocolate cup on top of a filled cup. This will close the cocoa bomb. Repeat with all of the chocolate cups.
- With the chocolate you set aside in the piping bag earlier, drizzle this over the hot cocoa bombs, then immediately top with the mixed confetti sprinkles. Lightly press the sprinkles into the drizzle of chocolate to make sure they won't fall off.
- Place the hot cocoa bombs into the freezer for 5 minutes to get them to set, then remove and store in an airtight container until you’re ready to use.
- To add a little touch of fun, you can pop your hot cocoa bombs into a cupcake liner or add a candle on top using melted chocolate to hold the candle in place.
- To use the hot cocoa bombs, place them in a mug and pour 2 cups hot milk over the top. Stir until the hot cocoa bombs are completely melted and enjoy!
