With cold weather upon us it seems fitting to break out the hot cocoa to warm hearts, tummies, and frozen fingers as they hug the toasty mugs filled with fudgy goodness! (is “fudgy” a word?) So many varieties of the chocolate treat are available in stores and coffee shops…and you can simply melt the real stuff in hot milk for a decadent indulgence! A deserved reward for shoveling the walk, building the best-ever snowman, or a hard day of chilly play…whatever the reason hot cocoa is a winter tradition and delight–an easy way to bring smiles to the faces of those you love! Grab some favorite containers and fill them with the makings for this sweet, warm treat…have a cocoa station at the ready for anytime guests arrive or kids come in from the cold! This year a bar cart holds all the mugs & fixins…but a space on the counter will always do and looks so festive during the holiday season! A treat that will be well received all winter long–so celebrate hot cocoa…
a simple pleasure!
a festive cake plate holds some holiday mugs…
on a cocoa cart!
make it easy for guests to serve their own toasty treat…simple tags are a whimsical addition!
some cookies for dipping & munching!
my family isn’t partial to peppermint so i chose stir sticks for mixing…but real candy canes or peppermint sticks would be a lovely addition!
holiday mugs look so festive but for a larger crowd you could stack up disposable cups too!
