My favorite winter drink is hot cocoa!
My day-to-day hot cocoa is a low cal Swiss Miss concoction that is fine for me during the week, but hello, weekend! I need my hot cocoa bar to create some scrumptious recipes for indulging!

I set up my Hot Cocoa Bar so that anyone can create what they want for their drink. My must haves on my hot cocoa bar are:
Indulgent hot cocoa mixes
My low cal Swiss Miss K cups
Peppermint Sticks
Dark Hershey kisses
Marshmallows
Cute candies
Also, but in the fridge: heavy whipping cream
Then I put up some adorable mugs to choose from. The mugs are important! Don't slack on the mugs.
As I use up the hot cocoa mixes, I replenish them from the stash I keep in my cupboard. I usually purchase hot cocoa from specialty stores for under $2 a serving. Make your own for a cost saving measure!
Lastly, I love to have a Chalkboard Display behind the cocoa bar. I am in love with how these look. Excuse my board, I am not an expert but I do love making them!

I keep reading about hot cocoa bars! I know they make vegan marshmallows but I'll have to do my research for my kiddos to be able to do this.
