Easter Egg Hot Chocolate Bombs
A twist on the Hot Chocolate Bombs that have taken the internet by storm, these colorful Easter Egg Chocolate Bombs are easy to make at home in just 15 minutes!
A few months ago the homemade hot cocoa bombs were all the rage. They were really popular at Christmas too, with bombs of all flavors and colors. Add a touch of sparkle, crushed mints, and colorful marshmallow, and your hot milk turns into a creamy delight.
With Easter just around the corner, I thought of making some Easter-themed hot chocolate bombs with marshmallows. These hot cocoa bombs are a great treat for adults and kids alike that only require some white-hot cocoa, candy melts, sanding sugar, and mini marshmallows.
Simply place the hot chocolate Easter eggs in a mug and cover with hot milk. They’ll burst open to let the marshmallow rise to the top and the chocolate melts into a creamy liquid you’ll enjoy drinking.
Make them as gifts or serve them as after-dinner drinks for Easter. They’re the perfect #easterhotcocoabombs
