Hot Chocolate Bar at Home

I love Autumn - the colorful leaves, the crisp air, and the squirrels running around in a wild frenzy in search of their winter bounty. It's definitely getting colder though and last night I had to turn on the heat for the first time this season. The dark mornings and early sunsets make my whole family want to just curl up on the sofa with piles of cozy blankets and drink warm, yummy things. Hence, the hot chocolate bar. We make so much hot chocolate (or "cocoa" as we called it growing up) during the colder months, that I thought it deserved it's very own place in the kitchen...

So, I rounded up my favorite hot chocolate mix (Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Cocoa - I just add hot milk - never water!), mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and some crushed peppermint candies...

The more mix-ins, the better!

Then I just set out some mugs, paper coffee cups (perfect when you are on the run!), and spoons and I had a very simple (and pretty) hot chocolate bar right on my kitchen counter. Needless to say, it's been very popular!

XOXO

This is brilliant! I have a coffee bar at home, but not a hot choco one... yet! :)
