How Do You Hold A Hot Chocolate Party?
• Choose the hot chocolate varieties. To have a successful hot chocolate party, you need to have variety. There are many different sorts of drinking chocolates available, so try to get a good selection from the possibilities. Consider such varieties as: • flavoured hot chocolates (vanilla, hazelnut etc.) • different cocoa level hot chocolate mixes (72%, 60% etc.) • white/milk/dark hot chocolate mixes, powdered chocolate and shavings of chocolate mixes • different country hot chocolate styles; and • different brands, as each brand tastes different. • Set up a tasting area. Have urns for hot water, hot milk (and don’t forget those who can’t consume dairy – have soy/rice milk available also) and cold milk arranged for guests to help themselves to. Place bowls filled with each hot chocolate powder or shavings. Put a sign in front of each one indicating what type of hot chocolate it is and any significant features, such as that it is imported from Switzerland, is allergy-free, is dairy-free
