How To Make Valentine’s Day Hot Cocoa Bombs

The entire step-by-step recipe is in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. First, I have photos of the process along with some really important tips.

Gather Your Ingredients

You will need the melting wafers, strawberry Nesquik, and mini marshmallows.

Melt The Chocolate

I have some important tips for this step.

I tried both dark chocolate chips and melting wafers. The melting wafers looked splotchy when I took them out of the mold for some reason. I’ve used Wilton melting wafers before with no problems, but when I went to Michaels to buy them, they no longer carry that brand, so this is what I used. I think I’d try the Ghirardelli melting wafers next time based on this experience. 

Next, I tried dark chocolate chips. I tempered the chocolate using these directions and it worked much better than the melting wafers. The tempered chocolate also seemed to melt (and taste) better in the actual hot cocoa.

Fill the Silicone Molds

Trust me, cutting the molds apart made them so much easier to work with. When you fill them with the chocolate, you can try to use a spoon, but a small paintbrush is a lot easier.

Let The Chocolate Set

I just put all of the hearts on a baking sheet and let them chill in the fridge for about an hour.

When they are set, be careful when you remove them from the molds.

One of the biggest issues I had was that the edges kept breaking off when I went to take the chocolate out of the mold. On the last batch that I made, I applied a second coating of chocolate after the chocolate had originally set, primarily around the edge of the mold.

This seemed to make the edge a little thicker and it definitely had less breakage. I would definitely recommend a second coating around the edge!

When taking the chocolate out of the mold, take special care to slowly release the edges of the chocolate from the mold very carefully before taking the entire thing out of the mold.

Fill With Strawberry Nesquik

This is the fun part. Fill one side of the hearts with Nesquik. Add a few marshmallows.

Then, place the two halves together. Lightly press the empty chocolate heart on a hot plate (I warmed mine in the microwave) just until it barely starts to melt. Then, set it on top of the filled heart.

Use a paintbrush dipped in some melted chocolate to spread more chocolate around the seam. Let them sit until they solidify together.

If the edges of the shell break a little, you can use a little melted chocolate from the piping bag around the seam. Roll the seam into some sprinkles while the chocolate is still melted to cover it up.

Enjoy Strawberry Hot Cocoa Bombs For Valentine’s Day

To serve them, just place one of the heart-shaped cocoa bombs into a glass. Fill it with hot, steamed milk. The hot cocoa bomb will magically begin to melt and your glass will be filled with both chocolate and strawberry Nesquik! YUM!!
