After seeing hot cocoa cubes at the store for over $3 a piece I decided to search for the perfect recipe to make these at home.  I knew I would need at least 20 for an upcoming event, so making them was the only cheap and easy solution.

Homemade hot cocoa cones could not be simpler and you can customize them to your tastebuds.  I stuck with traditional dark chocolate and adorned them with mini marshmallows and chopped up peppermint.

What You Need to Make Homemade Hot Cocoa Spoons

• Silicon Ice Cube Tray
• 4 x6 Cello Bags or Larger
• Wooden Craft Spoons
• Chocolate Bars
• Cocoa Powder
• Powdered Sugar
• Mini Marshmallows, Chopped up peppermint Candy, sprinkles etc.

Be sure to use chocolate bars and not chips for this recipe.  The chocolate needs to be tempered, but really all that means is you add more chocolate to the bowl before it is completely melted.

Once the chocolate is smooth and creamy, add your dry ingredients.  Be sure not to get any water in your mixture either, or it will seize the chocolate.

IS MY HOT COCOA MIXTURE TOO THICK FOR MY HOT COCOA SPOONS?

My mixture was still a smooth yet thick consistency once I incorporated the dry with the melted chocolate.

For each batch, fill a gallon size ziplock bag with the chocolate mixture.  This will make filling the ice cube tray a breeze.  Simply cut the corner off and use like a pastry bag.

The Ice Cube tray I bought, makes 2 oz cubes so I filled them half way.  Although I liked having the larger cavity space to add my toppings.

 

Add a wooden craft spoon into each chocolate cube.  I found adding mini marshmallows around the spoon kept it upright.

Sprinkle with chopped up peppermint too if you desire.  Heck you can add sprinkles or whatever you want to make these your own.  You can even use white or milk chocolate or a mixture of both.  Next time I might even layer them for a fun affect.

Allow them to set for at least an hour. You can use the fridge or a cool space in your home.

How to store the Homemade Hot Cocoa Cubes

Since we used silicon molds, these gems just popped right out.  Look how cute they are on a platter.

To give as gifts or holiday party favors, put them in a cello treat bag and use one of our free printable stickers to close them.  The stickers provide you recipient with the directions on how to use these DIY Hot Cocoa Cubes.  The cello bags need to be wide enough to fit the cube. We tried a few before we settled on the 4×6 size.
