These delightful treats are not only beautiful to look at, but they also transform an ordinary cup of hot chocolate into a whimsical experience that will warm your heart and bring a smile to your face.
Crafted from white chocolate tinted in a festive green hue, these hot cocoa bombs are shaped like Christmas trees, making them the perfect addition to any holiday celebration. Inside, they hide a delicious surprise—rich hot cocoa mix and fluffy mini marshmallows. When you pour hot milk over the tree, it slowly melts, releasing the cocoa and marshmallows in a mesmerizing display.

Ingredients:
- 12 oz white chocolate, chopped
- Green gel food coloring
- Hot cocoa mix (about 6-8 tbsp)
- Mini marshmallows
- Christmas tree silicone mold
- Edible glitter or sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Add green gel food coloring a little at a time, stirring until you reach your desired shade of green.
- Mold the Trees: Using a spoon, coat the inside of each cavity of the Christmas tree mold with a layer of the melted green chocolate. Make sure to cover all sides evenly. Place the mold in the fridge for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Add the Cocoa Mix: Once the chocolate is set, remove the mold from the fridge. Fill each tree cavity with about 1 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix and a few mini marshmallows.
- Seal the Bombs: Reheat the remaining green chocolate if it has hardened. Spoon or pipe a layer of chocolate over the hot cocoa mix and marshmallows to seal the back of each tree. Make sure the edges are well-sealed. Return the mold to the fridge for another 10 minutes to set.
- Decorate: Once the Christmas tree hot cocoa bombs are fully hardened, gently pop them out of the mold. If desired, decorate with edible glitter or sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Serve: To enjoy, place a hot cocoa bomb in a mug and pour hot milk over it. Watch as the tree melts away, releasing the cocoa mix and marshmallows. Stir well and enjoy a cozy cup of hot chocolate!
