Method
- 1. For the hot chocolate, pour milk into a large saucepan and heat over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, just until it starts to steam and boil around the edges.
- 2. Remove from heat and add the chocolate, stir until chocolate has completely melted. Serve hot.
- 3. To assemble the board, place a few smaller bowls onto a large serving tray, fill these with smaller ingredients like sprinkles, mini marshmallows, chopped chocolate, crushed candy canes, etc. and add spoons where needed. You’ll also need small bowls or jugs for things like caramel sauce etc.
- 4. Working your way around the board, place nibbles in groups, filling in gaps with smaller nibbles, until the board is completely covered with delicious treats.
- 5. If your serving tray or board is not big enough, that’s ok, use smaller bowls and place them around and about the main board with goodies.
