Hot Cocoa Bombs are so much fun to make in different flavours and varieties. These Chocolate Fudge Hot Cocoa Bombs with Chocolate Drizzle have a special twist! You guest it, each hot chocolate bomb has a delicious piece of homemade or store bought chocolate fudge.
I love adding ingredients to make the hot chocolate more complex and exciting; however, most of the time, all I really want from my hot chocolate bombs is as much chocolatey goodness as I can get. Rich aromatic chocolate perks up my senses and always satisfies me just the way I’m looking for.
You don’t need all the other bells and whistles as long as you have plenty of chocolate on chocolate, which is exactly what these delicious chocolate fudge hot cocoa bombs are. I still added the mini marshmallows, of course. Partly because it’s just so fun to watch them float to the top. This recipe makes a delicious hot beverage to enjoy year round!
Tips To Make The Hot Cocoa Bombs
Because this hot chocolate bombs recipe thrives on the simple goodness of extra chocolaty fudge, there is so little you have to do to prepare these hot cocoa bombs. You don’t need to round up a lot of ingredients and the materials used to make this treat are relatively small in number. If you don’t have a disposable piping bag for these chocolate fudge hot cocoa bombs, it’s very easy to make one for yourself using a plastic storage bag.
The piping bag is essential to the final look of the chocolate fudge hot cocoa bombs as you will drizzle melted chocolate over the balls and top with mini chocolate chips to leave until they set. This adds so much to the visual appeal of the hot cocoa bombs which are fun to look at and admire when you are not preparing them for a beverage.
Making the Chocolate Spheres
Make the spheres using silicone molds. Each mold makes hemispheres that you need to adhere to each other. Use caution as you melt the rims of the hemispheres and very carefully remove them from the pan once the edges are just melted.
HOW TO STORE THE HOT COCOA BOMBS
Store your hot cocoa bombs in a plastic container at room temperature for 1 week since it contains a piece of fudge or up to 2 months if filled with only hot cocoa mix.

Chocolate Fudge Hot Cocoa Bombs with Chocolate Drizzle Recipe
This recipe makes 8-10 Hot Chocolate Bombs.
Ingredients
- 30oz of Milk Chocolate melting wafers (about 900 grams or 3 3/4 cups)
- 8 tbsp of milk hot cocoa mix
- ½ lb of chocolate fudge (see our recipe and omit the nuts or use store bought) cut into ½ in cubes
- 1 cup of mini marshmallows
- 1 cup of mini chocolate chips
Material Needed
- 1 small skillet over very low heat
- 2 Silicone Sphere Molds (Amazon, Showcase, etc.)
- 1 disposable piping bag
- 1 cookie sheet fitted with wax paper
How To Make The Chocolate Fudge Hot Cocoa Bombs
- Use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and wipe the inside of the silicone molds. This will allow your chocolate mold to have a shiny coat on it.
- Using a heat safe bowl, pour into the bowl and place the remaining of the melting wafers in the microwave for 45 second intervals. Make sure to stir the chocolate after each 45 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
- Using a spoon, spoon about 1 to 2 tbsp of the chocolate into the mold. Carefully swirl the chocolate to completely coat the inside of the mold.
- Lightly shake the extra chocolate back into the bowl.
- Place the coated molds into the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes or until it’s set.
- Remove from the fridge and gently peel the silicone mold back away from the hardened chocolate shell.
- Carefully place the mold onto the cookie sheet.
- Repeat steps with remaining molds.
- Scoop some melted chocolate into the piping bag and set aside. You might have to reheat again in the microwave for 15 second intervals.
- You should now have 12 half sphere molds.
- Heat a plate in the microwave for 30 seconds, and be careful as the plate might be hot.
- Carefully take the open side of the sphere and place it onto the plate to melt off the uneven edges to create a smooth edging.
- Place the shell back onto the cookie sheet and allow the edge to harden.
Building The Cocoa Bomb
1. Scoop about 1 tbsp of the hot cocoa mix into the bottom of each of the 4 sphere molds (the 4 sides you melted the edge).
2. Add a few mini marshmallows in the sphere.
3. Place a piece of fudge in the centre.
4. Place each top of the shell back onto the warm pan to melt the edges for a few seconds.
5. Quickly place the melted edges onto the filled shell and gently press down.
6. Cut the tip off the piping bag and drizzle over the cocoa bombs.
7. Sprinkle some mini chocolate chips.
8. Allow to set before enjoying in a 8oz/1 cup of steaming milk!
