Create a Hot Cocoa Buffet Bar
Instead of serving regular hot cocoa and coffee at your next gathering, you can make it extra special with a little planning ahead. Gather family at the spur of the moment and not stress at all about how to create a fun evening because you’ll have all the fixings on hand for a yummy hot cocoa buffet!
-
Keep an assortment of goodies on hand so you can pull out a spread at any time. Things like sprinkles, toffee bits, candy canes, chocolate mint candies, graham crackers, marshmallows are great as well as chocolate and caramel sauces and whipped cream.
-
If you are planning ahead for this evening, then crush the candies and graham crackers ahead of time and place in sealed containers to keep fresh. Store in a cool place.
-
Place marshmallows in a bowl, open all the containers of candy, and pour sauces into bowls to easily heat just before.
-
Heat and fill a carafe with hot water and make a pot of coffee that will be ready when it is time to start.
-
Let your guests know of all the options so they can create various combinations of flavors!
Even though our gatherings may only be our family, it can be a memorable evening with a little extra effort!
