Hot Chocolate Board

Thank you for your rating!

Make a fun event and serve hot chocolate for dessert with a delicious help-yourself hot chocolate board. Use our recipe for a real-chocolate hot chocolate, or mix up your own pot of hot chocolate using your favourite hot chocolate mix. You could even just provide a pot of scalded milk and let everyone mix their own hot chocolate!

Ingredients

  • For hot chocolate:
  • 1 litre milk of your choice
  • 80g 70% dark chocolate, finely chopped or grated
  • 80g milk chocolate, finely chopped or grated
  • Optional extras for flavour:
  • Strips of orange peel
  • Crushed candy canes
  • Cinnamon sticks
  • Baileys, brandy, Kahlua, Frangelico etc.
  • Optional extras to top off:
  • Whipped cream
  • Warmed chocolate hazelnut spread
  • Caramel sauce
  • Sprinkles
  • Marshmallows
  • Optional nibbles:
  • Your favourite biscuits (Oreos, shortbread, choc chip cookies, gingerbread men etc.)
  • Fudge
  • Toffees
  • Chocolate fingers
  • Various chocolates and other sweet treats

Instructions

  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.
