1. Make the strawberry mix by combining equal parts powdered strawberry drink mix and powdered milk (1/2 cup of each).
2. Melt white chocolate in the double boiler.
3. Spoon melted chocolate into the sphere molds and coat the sides using the back of a small spoon.
4. Allow chocolate to set up in the molds (If desired, speed up this process by placing molds in freezer for several minutes).
5. Once it has hardened, gently press chocolate spheres out of molds.
6. Rotate bottom half of bomb on a warm plate to smooth edges.
7. Fill the bottom half with 1/4 cup strawberry mixture, several freeze-dried strawberries, and mini marshmallows.
8. Rotate top half of sphere on a warm plate to smooth edges and gently press the two halves together. The slightly melted edge will seal the two halves.
9. Decorate tops by piping melted white chocolate from a pastry bag and sprinkle with strawberry dust, shaved white chocolate, and/or sprinkles.
10. Enjoy your white chocolate hot cocoa bombs by placing one in a mug and pouring hot water or milk over it.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t have a double boiler you can boil water in a pan with a lid upside down then put a bowl on top of the lid, this will work the same as a double boiler. We prefer this method for melting white chocolate, as white chocolate is notorious for burning in the microwave.

You can put a plate over your double boiler or hot pan to heat it up, then gently press the edges of your spheres to the plate until they are slightly melted. Press the edges together to seal. You can then use your finger to smooth the outside of the edges if you’d like.

We recommend using a bar of white chocolate that you can cut/break up to melt. White chocolate chips would work fine as well. Almond bark and white candy melts also work, but the flavor and consistency of white chocolate work better for placing in hot milk.

These beautiful strawberry white chocolate hot cocoa bombs are the perfect edible gift for Valentine’s Day or to serve as a favor at a baby shower, birthday, or bridal shower! Place them in a cupcake liner and wrap them in a cellophane baggie for gift-giving.
