Hot Cocoa Bar

Hot cocoa, in my opinion, should be so thick that it’s practically a fudge sauce. I want it made with milk (or cream!) and real chocolate- I rarely enjoy the store-bought powdered stuff. Most of the time I like this but if you’re serving a crowd, this is the recipe to use. It's time for the big guns! The recipe makes a lot and is fantastic days later.

I had some leftover cocoa so I stored it in a tightly covered container in the fridge. I just poured out my portion in a microwaveable mug and heated it for almost 2 minutes- perfect!

A hot cocoa bar is a fun, interactive dessert to serve either after a big meal, for a brunch, or during a party. Set out a variety of mix-ins/toppings and let people customize their own hot cocoa! Here are some ideas to help get the ball rolling:
