Valentine’s Day is coming and 2022 is needing some extra love. Conversation hearts are so uplifting and kind, I thought we had to do something this year including them.
Conversation Hearts have been around for years! Sweet love notes made out of candy melts inside a decadent hot chocolate bomb will make anyone happy to receive them.
Valentine’s Day isn’t about the candy for me anymore, it’s about the thought.
Kids love making the Conversation Starters out of candy melts so they can also be included in this DIY project.

Since Cocoa Bombs are the viral craze right now, why not combine the two? I’ve already done Christmas Cocoa Bombs, New Year’s Eve Cocoa Bombs, Marriage Proposal Cocoa Bombs, and a fun Surprise Valentine’s Day Cocoa Bomb.
It’s time to make surprise Valentine’s hot chocolate bombs with Conversation Hearts. The only other requirement for the cup of hot chocolate is hot water or hot milk.
If you’re having a party, don’t forget some colorful straws.
Don’t forget, you can also use regular chocolate to make the Conversation Starter Cocoa Bombs. That would make for a chocolate bliss hot cocoa!

Notes
Exact amounts of ingredients needed or yield may vary depending on the actual silicone mold you use. Silicone molds come in all sizes - with the one's I purchased, I used the large ones, so if you don't use the exact same one we did, you may end up needing more or less of each ingredient. I used a full tablespoon of Cocoa in each mold.
If you are drizzling the white chocolate on top of bomb, make sure it cools a little otherwise it will put a hole in the bomb
