One chocolate bomb flavors only one cup of milk, so if you have a large mug of milk you may need more than one hot cocoa bomb to make your drink taste great Room Temperature: They will last up to two weeks at room temperature when stored out of direct sunlight, below 70 degrees. We use about 2/3 cup of cocoa, sometimes a little more depending on the alcohol we’re using, to 1/2 cup of Bailey’s or Grand Marnier usually. We always make more than 4 boozy hot cocoa bombs at a time. If you’re only making four hot cocoa bombs half the recipe and use 1/3 cup cocoa and 1/4 cup of alcohol to make your boozy hot cocoa bombs!
