What You Need to Make Unicorn Horn Hot Cocoa Bombs
- 2 cups white candy melts
- 2 cups white hot chocolate mix
- 12 rainbow marshmallows
- ¼ cup mixed sprinkles
- ¼ cup unicorn horn sprinkles
You’ll also need a unicorn-shaped silicone mold, a small paintbrush, and a little water to set the sprinkles.
How to Make Unicorn Hot Cocoa Bombs
1. Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl following the package instructions. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
2. Place a single unicorn horn sprinkle into the horn area of each mold so it sits against the candy shell.
3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted candy into one cavity of the mold. Use the back of the tablespoon to press the chocolate up the sides of the mold, creating an even, thick shell. Repeat until you have six halves.
4. Freeze the filled molds for 5 minutes to set the shells. Remove the molds and carefully peel them away from the chocolate unicorns.
How to assemble Unicorn Hot Cocoa Bombs
5. For the bottom cap of each unicorn head, add about ½ tablespoon of melted candy into the mold and spread it across the face area to form a cap.
6. Freeze again for 5 minutes, then remove and gently release the caps from the molds.
7. Fill each chocolate unicorn shell with 1 tablespoon of white hot chocolate mix, a few unicorn sprinkles, and two rainbow marshmallows.
8. Pipe a small amount of melted candy along the rim of each filled unicorn half, then press a unicorn cap on top to seal the bomb.
9. Place the finished cocoa bombs in the freezer for 5 minutes to set, then remove and finish the decoration.
10. Lightly brush the mane area with a thin coat of water and immediately apply the dot sprinkles so they adhere. Let the water dry completely.
Store the cooled, decorated cocoa bombs in an airtight container until ready to use.
