Some of the writer's ideas include:

 Hot Cocoa Bar How-To’s

  • Use fancy mugs. This can be an fun, attractive way to tie in your colors.
  • Have a few assortments of flavored hot cocoa. Some favorites that would also act as a perfect base for your guests’ creations would be peppermint, white chocolate, and dark chocolate.  Make sure the liquid starts out HOT.  The room temperature add-ins will cool the cocoa quickly.
  • Finely chop your chunky add-ins so they will melt well.
  • Have both liquid and dry options for add-ins.

Hot Cocoa Bar Add-Ins

  • Marshmallows (what hot cocoa isn’t complete without this staple?)
  • Peppermint sticks
  • Flavored syrups
  • Flavored whipped cream
  • Cinnamon sticks
  • Orange twists or rinds
  • Chopped up candy bar
  • Chocolate chips
  • Chocolate truffles
  • Caramel squares
  • Candied ginger
