I’m typically the last one to learn of new trends, food or fashion. But, now that I have a teenage daughter, I feel like I’m getting a bit better (via her!) about knowing what is “in”. She has mentioned hot chocolate bombs that she’s been seeing on TikTok several times over the past couple of months, so I had to learn more!
If you aren’t sure what hot chocolate bombs are, I’ve got all of the details to help you get up to date on this trend. Plus, I have asked some talented food bloggers to share some of their best recipes to help you make these fun treats.
Hot chocolate bombs are chocolate globes filled with cocoa mix and mini marshmallows. When the edible “bomb” is placed in steaming hot milk, the chocolate melts to allow the cocoa and marshmallows to be mixed with the milk to make hot chocolate with edible treats.
Other add in options include caramel, sprinkles, toffee pieces, or peppermint.

Where Do You Buy Hot Chocolate Bombs?
As the popularity for this fun treat increases, more and more stores are starting to carry them. But, beware, they do seem to sell out quickly so don’t get your heart set on finding them in the stores (see below recipes and make your own!).
If you are looking for places to buy hot chocolate bombs:
- Amazon
- Frankford’s Hot Chocolate bombs at WalMart
- Costco (if they stay in stock long enough to grab them!)

How Much Do Hot Chocolate Bombs Cost?
Due to the popularity, hot chocolate bombs can be pricey to purchase. As I mentioned earlier, the biggest challenge is actually finding them.
My research revealed the following prices for hot chocolate bombs:
- Amazon: $12.99 for one and $33.50 for a two pack!
- Target: Holiday Hot Cocoa Bombs sell for $3.99 for a 3 pack
- Costco: 16 count box Cocoa Bombs for $19.00
- WalMart: $10.74 for one (if not sold out!)
- Etsy: $3.50 for four pack (but several other options to choose from)
I’ll admit after looking at all of the prices during my search, I was definitely feeling more inclined to make my own, too! It does look like a slightly time consuming diy food project, but I think making hot chocolate bombs would be a fun holiday craft project.
The bonus is you will have a yummy treat to eat AND drink in the end!
My daughter and I will be sifting through the following awesome recipes to find the perfect fit for our palate. Who knows, we might make lots of different ones over the winter.
