<\/a><\/p>\nHot Cocoa Bar<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Items required:<\/p>\n Depending on how many people you will be serving, you can decide how much cocoa is sufficient to prepare for your guests. At both of the family parties I attended, there were well over 30 people, so I made about 40 cups for each. I stuck with water and a lot of hot cocoa mix! I premade the cocoa and let it stay warm in an electric coffee urn.<\/p>\n I found these festive snowflake and silver & gold striped paper straws in the dollar section at Target, and the red snowflake napkins at Dollar \u00a0Tree. The chalkboard slate snowflake tiles were from Aldi’s Christmas section this year for less than $4\/set.<\/p>\n Since I was going for the chalkboard theme look, I found these free hot cocoa bar printables online here<\/a>. A few sheets of cardstock, a scissors and some baker’s twine were all that were needed to create these festive cups of cheer!<\/p>\n Then came the toppings…you could really go as nuts with these as you want, but I chose to stick to the basics, with a few special items thrown in for fun. White & milk chocolate chips, caramel bits, crushed peppermint and candy canes were some delicious add in options. I even served up the crushed peppermint in these tiny serving cups for a shot of peppermint in your cocoa!<\/p>\n For the marshmallows, I chose to include mini plain and the peppermint variety, large plain, and peppermint flavored Peeps. Wouldn’t you want this cute little chick floating in your cup of cocoa?<\/p>\n\n
