Cocoa Bomb with Peeps
We are not big cereal people but this recipe called for Peeps Family Size Cereal. We sorted out the mini peeps (colored marshmallows) to use inside the Cocoa Bombs. Then I added the the cute bunny and ducks mini peeps on the outside to decorate it.
You can even make these delicious hot chocolate bombs with your kids. They will be so excited when they see their very own creation in their mug. Plus, the best part is that these bombs are filled with Mini Peeps (mini marshmallows).
This makes them extra special for Springtime.
These Easter Hot Chocolate Bombs are simple to make, using chocolate melts or Lily’s chocolate chips, mini Peeps marshmallows, and sprinkles. Make this delicious treat today and enjoy it while watching an Easter movie or reading an Easter book together as a family.

Tips for the best Easter Hot Chocolate Bomb with Peeps
- Use Latex Gloves for Spring Hot Chocolate Bomb with Peeps when taking out of silicone molds
Using Latex gloves will keep fingerprints off the bombs.
- Cool the Chocolate Easter Hot Chocolate Bomb with Peeps
Make sure topping chocolate has cooled off other wise it will melt the bomb.
- Use a Hot Plate for Easter Bomb with Peeps
Smooth out edges of the half of a bomb mold
- Use Measuring Spoon for Hot Cocoa Bombs
Use a half tablespoon measuring spoon (2x) to add hot chocolate so that it doesn’t spill all over the outside of the bombs (outside of the mold).
- You can Make the Cocoa Bomb Keto Friendly
If you use Lily’s sweetened with stevia and Ghiradelli Hot Cocoa, it is Keto and sugar free without the marshmallows. You can make the mold toppings with Lily’s too.
- Use an Airtight Container for Storing Cocoa Bombs
Don’t forget to use an airtight container to put them in.
- Try Different Flavored Chocolate for Hot Chocolate Bombs
There are so many different chocolate flavors you can do too, like dark chocolate, milk chocolate, salted caramel, white chocolate, and peppermint mocha!
- Making a Cup of Hot Chocolate with the Bomb
Grab your favorite mug! Make a mug of hot milk and add the bomb after.
