How to make Instant Pot Hot Cocoa Bombs
Place the IP on ‘SAUTE’. Pour in 1 1/2 cup of water inside and find a glass bowl to fit in the inside of your IP, then place it inside. This is going to act like a double broiler.
Place the candy melts inside the bowl. Stir until the chocolate is melted.
Use a baking spray to coat a thin layer of grease on the silicone molds. Place the melted chocolate inside the grease molds and move it around to completely coat the inside of the mold. Put the molds into the freezer for approximately 5 minutes to chill and harden.
Take the molds out of the freezer and then, place a 1/2 tablespoon of cocoa powder and mini marshmallows inside each one.
Pour some more melted chocolate over the top of the powder and marshmallows to lock everything in place. Place back into the freezer for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Begin popping out the cocoa bombs by peeling the sides of the molds and pushing upwards.
Then, place your almond bark with 2 oz of the candy melts in a separate medium-sized bowl and melt in the IP as a double broiler.
Using a spoon, drizzle some of the melted chocolate over the top of the finished cocoa bombs. Quickly add the Lucky Charm’s Marshmallows before the chocolate becomes hard.
Grab your favorite mug and place one or two of the finished cocoa bombs inside, then pour over some hot milk and watch as the cocoa bombs release the tasty insides.
Mix with a spoon and enjoy!
What Can I Put Inside Cocoa Bombs?
For Beginners who have never had a cocoa bomb, I recommend using just cocoa powder and mini marshmallows. You don’t want to overpower your hot cocoa if you have never had it before. Now if you have tried this type of recipe before, you can add other things you would like, you can add mini chocolate chips or mini caramel pieces for more flavor. For more St. Patrick’s Day fun, you can also add lucky charm style marshmallows too.
How Can I Decorate These St Patrick’s Day Hot Cocoa Bombs?
Decorating the cocoa bombs is one of my favorite parts of making this recipe. You can truly decorate these whatever way you see fit and can even change the colors and theme to fit any holiday of your choosing. You can add sprinkles, more chocolate, add different colors of melting chocolate, and overall just have fun with it.
