Hot cocoa and Christmas Parties

Thursday, December 13, 2012

A few Sundays ago, we had a little Christmas party with some friends. We wanted to make it extra special for the Christmas season, and decided to do a hot chocolate bar. I made homemade hot cocoa and provided a number of mix-ins including Andy's mints, crushed twix and snickers bars, raspberry syrup, whipped cream, candy cane pieces and hazelnut creamer. I had little cups for them to go in and it was so fun to have lots of different flavors to try! Plus, there was some left over and Adam and I got to try all the mix-ins that we wanted over the next few days!
