Tips

Make sure that your candy melts have completely hardened before trying to remove them from the mold.
Spooning the melted chocolate around the mold helps to ensure that you get a completely covered outer layer of white.
Don’t overheat the candy melts in the microwave, and try to avoid microwaving for more than two minutes at a time, otherwise, they will become too liquidy and harden too quickly.
If you find that cocoa bomb is smudging from the heat of your fingers, then wear gloves.

Substitutions and Variations

You can use any kind of white chocolate for this recipe instead of candy melts.
Add in some cocoa powder to the melted chocolate mix if you want a more chocolaty flavor.
Switch up the colors of your cocoa bombs by using a different colored candy melt.
