St Patrick’s Day Hot Cocoa Bombs Recipe

On St. Patrick’s Day, we’re all a little Irish, right? My son has declared “I just want St. Patrick’s Day to be over so we can have Easter!” And, honestly, I get it, kid. But instead of doing the ‘catch a leprechaun’ activities that seem to leave my kids unimpressed, I’ll wow them in other ways. Specifically, through their bellies. And this twist on hot cocoa bombs is sure to delight them. So I’ll share with you these St Patrick’s Day Hot Cocoa Bombs recipe!

WHY THE INSTANT POT?

If you’ve been following my blog for a while you’ll know that I’m basically obsessed with pressure cooking and one-pot cooking in the Instant Pot. It’s just… easy. And, when food is made in a pressure cooker, it is 100 times more flavorful.

What you’ll need

I used my Instant Pot, but it’s not necessary. Any double-boiler situation will work. I just prefer using my pressure cooker for everything. The other items are super easy finds. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 24 ounces of green candy melts, 2 ounces reserved
  • 7 Tablespoons of hot cocoa powder with miniature marshmallows
  • 2 blocks (4 ounces) of white Almond Bark
  • 42 Lucky Charms Marshmallows

Your kids will totally love this (and you will, too!). You’ll get major mom points, for sure! PS. the Lucky Charms marshmallows (which you can find here) are a game changer. Don’t skip them.

Instructions

INGREDIENTS -

St. Patrick’s Day Hot Cocoa Bombs

STEP 1 -

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 2 -

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

STEP 3 -

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

STEP 4 -

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

STEP 5 -

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 6 -

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

STEP 7 -

In another medium sized bowl, melt your almond bark chocolate and 2 oz candy melts in the Instant Pot as a double broiler.

STEP 8 -

With a spoon, drizzle your melted almond bark mixture over the bombs. Immediately add your Lucky Charm marshmallows before the chocolate hardens.
