  We find that collisions of near-horizon-sized bubbles with a thick fluid
shell can produce primordial black holes (PBHs) during a first-order phase
transition. We predict an approximately monochromatic PBH mass spectrum. In
terms of a few parameters to be obtained from future numerical simulation, we
estimate the PBH abundance in an Abelian Higgs benchmark model and show that it
can be significant. In particular, the PBHs can constitute entire dark matter
or even over-close the universe. Our result thus shows that models with a
first-order phase transition can be constrained by over-abundant PBHs or null
results of other PBH searches.
