A couple of our favorite things are charcuterie boards and dessert. How lucky are we that hot cocoa charcuterie boards are now a hot trend of 2020! Someone had the amazing idea to take these two delicacies and combine them to make a fun, instagrammable hot cocoa set up! Beside from being beautiful, this board will be a hit at your next party.
What are hot cocoa charcuterie boards? It's essentially a chocolate lover's dream and a dentist's nightmare. Picture your average charcuterie board filled with meat, cheeses, nuts, bread, and swap out all the savory for sweet! It's everything you could possibly need to make the perfect cup of hot cocoa all on one board. All the treats are presented like charcuterie would be, just with the magic of Christmas added in. And if your party is adult only, feel free to spice your charcuterie up with some alcohol mixers on the side! Spiked hot cocoa is always a hit.
If you want inspiration to make your own Hot Cocoa Charcuterie look no further. We basically cleared the shelves of all the stores around us to create this beautiful board.
Here are a few of our favorite finds:
From William Sonoma we of course had to grab the Peppermint Bark. That is our absolute favorite year after year! This year, we're also trying the dark chocolate almond bark (since dark chocolate is MY personal favorite).
From Trader Joe's we found the Dunkers and the Mini chocolate chip cookies. Dan's favorite thing is chocolate chip cookies so it was a no brainer to pick these up from TJ's.
From Sees Candy we found the lovely little peppermint candies that lighten up the aesthetic of the board
& from Cost Plus came the Rice Krispy Christmas Trees and Stars! How cute!
Our board is perfect for a large group, but can easily be scaled down for a smaller gathering. We can picture younger kids loving the idea of elevating the classic hot cocoa for something a bit over-the-top and grandiose like this! Have fun with it and make sure to tag us if you tackle the Hot Coco Charcuterie trend!
