Hot Chocolate Bars: The Perfect Winter Wedding Treat

admin — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 18:35:19 +0000

With the chilly weather we have been having in Calgary coupled with snow all around I have found myself indulging in one too many warm cups of hot chocolate. There is just something about this time of year that says “hot chocolate.” Given my current hot chocolate craze I thought I would share one of my favourite winter wedding ideas, and that is having a hot chocolate bar. These are always a huge hit and are perfect to set up following the ceremony (your guests can indulge in a sweet beverage while you are off on your photo shoot) and they work equally well after dinner or at the end of the night. When I create a hot chocolate bar for one of my events, I always like to make sure that it is styled beautifully and has ample topping options for guests to choose from. Below are some of my favourite selections.

These heart shaped marshmallows would be perfect in a post wedding cup of cocoa.

One of my personal favourites, white chocolate dipped peppermint sticks! You can find the recipe here.

These peppermint marshmallow pops with white chocolate are too cute! They would definitely add a touch of style to any hot chocolate bar.

If you are looking for some fabulous and cost effective options, you can’t go wrong with mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, toffee sprinkles, candy cane sprinkles and cinnamon sticks.

I also recommend including options such as whipped cream, chocolate and caramel sauce, powdered sugars such as vanilla, mint and toffee, white, milk and mint chocolate shavings, syrups such as mint, hazelnut, and raspberry, and liqueurs such as Bailey’s, Creme de Mint, Kahlua, Grand Marnier.
