Easter is coming on April 4th and I thought these adorable (and DELICIOUS!) Easter Egg Hot Cocoa Bombs were a perfect addition to this beautiful day! Kids absolutely love hot cocoa bombs and since they are shaped like an Easter egg, they might just love them even more! I know my kids do and so do I!
The Easter Egg Hot Cocoa Bombs are pretty easy to make and are such a sweet and yummy treat for everyone. I have made a few hot cocoa bombs before (Check out my hot chocolate Fireball bombs which are a little ‘boozy‘ for adults and my Valentine’s Day Hot Chocolate Bombs!), and they are always such a hit with my family. Since it is so cold outside you can’t go wrong with a fun, hot drink!
