Patriotic Hot Cocoa Bombs combine red, white, and blue candy melts to create festive, marbled chocolate spheres filled with both white and milk hot chocolate mixes, mini marshmallows, and colorful baking chips. The shells are made by swirling melted candy melts in silicone molds, then chilling them to set. When placed in hot milk, these cocoa bombs melt to release their rich hot chocolate flavor and toppings, making them a fun, visual treat.
