Instant Pot Cupid Hot Cocoa Bombs Recipe

I know, I know — Hot Cocoa Bombs are all the rage! But I just can’t stop! And I won’t stop, honestly. Not only do my kids love them, but I love making them. My kids can’t even finish a full mug of hot chocolate, but that doesn’t stop them from wanting one, like, every single day. And, y’all know I’ve been trying my darndest with this whole ‘staying-at-home’ thing. I’m trying desperately to keep my children excited, entertained, and engaged. And with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, why not try my hand at an Instant Pot Cupid Hot Cocoa Bombs Recipe?!

Instant Pot Cupid Hot Cocoa Bombs

No Instant Pot? No Problem!

Sure, this recipe calls for an Instant Pot. But you don’t necessarily need an Instant Pot for these! I’m basically obsessed with mine. But you could just as easily use a double boiler. I just prefer the IP because I just find that it’s less messy. There’s a Sauté function on every Instant Pot that makes sautéing and searing super easy.

What you’ll need for this recipe

Besides an Instant Pot or double-boiler, you’ll need the following:

  • 24 ounces of pink candy melts 
  • 2 cups of marshmallows 
  • 7 Tablespoons of hot cocoa powder
  • Sprinkles — I recommend super fun Valentine’s Day Themed Sprinkles like these!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces of pink candy melts 
  • 2 cups of marshmallows 
  • 7 Tablespoons of hot cocoa powder
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

STEP ONE

Turn your instant pot onto sauté mode. Place one and a half cups of water inside your instant pot. Place a glass bowl that will fit in your instant pot as it will act as a double broiler. 

STEP TWO

Add in your candy melts to the bowl. Continue to mix until the chocolate has completely melted.

STEP THREE

Lightly grease the inside of your silicone molds. Add chocolate to your molds making sure that chocolate is completely coding the mold on the inside. Place in the freezer for about five minutes.

STEP FOUR

Remove your molds from the freezer. Add a half a tablespoon of cocoa powder and about 4 marshmallows per mold.

STEP FIVE

Add more of your melted chocolate on top of the marshmallows to close the mold and lock the cocoa and marshmallows from coming out. Return to the freezer for about 5 to 10 minutes.

STEP SIX

Remove your cocoa bombs by pushing on the silicone side of the mold until the bomb pops out. 

STEP SEVEN

With a spoon, drizzle your remaining chocolate over the bombs. Immediately add your sprinkles before the chocolate hardens. 

STEP EIGHT

Please one or two bombs in your favorite mug and pour hot milk over it to melt the chocolate releasing the hot cocoa and marshmallows.

    Using the instant pot to heat the chocolate is sort of genius. I have made hot chocolate bombs a few times and the kids think they are just so fun!
