If you know me well enough, I will find any reason to throw a party, and the winter is the perfect one for me. It's no secret that I love the cold season. With the rain or snow making music outside your window, what's a better way to get warm than to throw a hot chocolate party?!
The newest trend this winter is the hot chocolate bar. A steamy cup of chocolaty goodness with a side of yummy toppings.
Invite your friends over and welcome them into your home the right way. Have a basket of slipper socks to toast those toes, and soft throw blankets to wrap up in.
Whip up some homemade hot chocolate and lay out the fixings. Let your friends top their mugs with their favorite flavors for a cup of hot chocolate that will warm up their souls.
Keep them awake with freshly ground espresso beans. Add half a teaspoon into your mug for a cafe mocha treat.
BISCOTTI
Serve biscotti to dip into the hot chocolate for a comforting bite. Add a luxurious touch by first dipping the biscotti in white chocolate and letting it set before serving.
MINI MARSHMALLOWS
Throw on some mini marshmallows and watch them melt to bring our the child in you.
RUM
Get naughty by spiking your coco with some dark rum. A teaspoon will be enough to heat you up on the inside.
PEPPERMINT CANDY
Sticks or crushed, peppermint candy is a refreshing take on the classic hot chocolate.
ORANGE PEEL
Chocolate and orange become the best of friends during winter. A few ribbons of orange peel bring out the richness of the chocolate.
CINNAMON STICKS
Spice up with some cinnamon sticks, a classic combo, and always sure to get you into the winter mood.
SHAVED CHOCOLATE
What goes better with chocolate, than more chocolate?! Give your guest delicious choices by serving dark, milk and white chocolate shavings to sprinkle onto their mugs.
Pop in a favorite movie and I promise you, your friends won't want to go home!
