Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Now that winter is finally here, we are anticipating a lot of nights spent inside by a warm fire. Christmas movie marathons definitely hit different when you have a mug of hot cocoa by your side. What cuter way to prepare hot cocoa than with a hot cocoa bomb?

Hot cocoa bombs are decadent chocolate balls, filled with hot cocoa powder and mini marshmallows. When you place them in a cup and pour hot milk or cocoa over the top, they explode into a delicious drink. They’re a big hit with kids, too!

These yummy treats can be made at home, but they usually require a specific silicone mold. However, thanks to Do It On a Dime, we now know how to make these awesome hot cocoa bombs without a mold – and they only cost $1!
