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?!
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!
Instant Pot Cupid Hot Cocoa Bombs
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.
STEP NINE
Stir with a spoon and enjoy!
I can’t wait for you to try these Instant Pot Cupid Hot Cocoa Bombs!

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!
