Tips to Make Lego Man Hot Cocoa Bombs
- First, grab the lego man mold here. The mold is everything about this easy DIY hot cocoa bomb. I mean, seriously…you just can’t make Lego man hot cocoa bombs without it. I recommend using the larger Lego man, because there is then room to make a cavity to fill with hot cocoa mix and marshmallows. But the smaller Lego men would make great hot cocoa stirrers!
- When making hot cocoa bombs, because you’re working with chocolate in molds, I recommend that you use melting candy discs. I’m not saying at all that candy discs are always better than chocolate chips, but in this situation, because the candy melts melt more smoothly and they don’t harden up as fast, that gives you more time to work the chocolate into all the nooks and crannies of the mold. So, just , grab some candy melts like these to make it easy on yourself.
- When it’s time to use these awesome Lego hot cocoa bombs, microwave about 2 cups of milk in a measuring cup, then pour it over the Lego hot chocolate bomb in your favorite mug. Then the bombs will float up in your cup and “explode”.
- You CAN use a regular mug for these Lego hot cocoa bombs, but the honest truth is that they are quite a bit bigger than typical hot cocoa bombs. So, grab a large mug like this one – trust me, it’s a lot of hot cocoa, but deliciousness awaits.

Lego Hot Cocoa Bombs
If you've ever toyed with the idea of a creative way to make hot cocoa bombs, this awesome Lego hot cocoa bomb recipe is IT!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Chocolate Candy Melts
- 2 cups Hot Chocolate Mix
- 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
- 1/2 cup Lego Sprinkles
Instructions
- Heat chocolate candy melts in a microwave per the directions on the package.
- Place about 2 tbsp melted chocolate into one of the molds and, using your measuring spoon, move the chocolate up the sides of the mold, keeping the chocolate thick but even. Repeat with a second mold.
- Place 10-12 marshmallows into one of the chocolate filled molds, but don't press them down. You just want them to stick to the chocolate, not be deeply embedded. This keeps them out of your way when you assemble to two halves later, saving you some annoyance.
- Place the molds into your freezer for 5 minutes.
- Take the molds out of the freezer and gently peel the silicone back and away from the chocolate to make it slide out of the mold.
- Fill the empty shape with 1 tbsp hot cocoa mix and 1 tbsp sprinkles, then add a line of melted chocolate to the rim of this half of the hot cocoa bomb.
- Press the marshmallow half of the hot cocoa bomb to the top of the other, gently pressing the two sides together. If you are having difficultly getting the two halves to join securely, you can add a little more chocolate, but don't over do it.
- Place the sprinkles into a bowl and dip the wet edges of the lego man sides in them, .
- Repeat until you have 3 hot cocoa bombs.
- Place your lego man hot cocoa bombs into the freezer for about 5 minutes to allow them to set, then remove.
- Store them in an airtight container until ready to use.
