How To Make Sy Patrick’s Day Hot Chocolate Bombs

Step One

Melt the candy melts in the microwave according to the package directions. 

Step Two

Once they are melted, use the back of a spoon to add the melted chocolate to the inside of the hot chocolate bomb mold.

Do this in one thin layer and then place  the bomb in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Step Three

Take the bomb out of the freezer and add melted chocolate to any areas that are too thin. The general rule of thumb is to only add chocolate where you can see through the mold.

 You want the bomb to stay together but not be too thick.

If you add more to the see through spots then place back in the freezer for another 10 minutes.

Step Four

Remove the bomb from the freezer and slowly pop out of the molds.

Step Five

Heat a frying pan on a low heat.

Place one side of the bomb rim open side down onto the frying pan.

This will lightly melt and even out the edges.

Quickly add a squeeze of chocolate syrup to the bomb and a tablespoon of Baileys or Irish Whiskey. 

Melt the other side of the bombs rim and then place evenly with the other side. Hold together until they set into a ball. 

Decorating Your St Patrick’s Day Hot Cocoa Bombs

Once your hot chocolate bombs are cooled and completely set, place them in cupcake liners. 

Using a pastry brush, paint some edible gold glitter on to the one half of each bomb. Not only does this look great for gifting, it will also add a little sparkle to your spiked hot chocolate!

Frequently asked questions

Can I use other alcohol besides Baileys?

Can I make these hot chocolate bombs without alcohol?

You have to make some hot chocolate bombs without booze for the designated drivers and underage guests at your St Patrick’s Day party.
