Many of my winter childhood memories are about sledding, Cupcake (our dog) stealing our mittens, and hot chocolate. I’m a traditional hot chocolate with mini marshmallows kind of girl. So tasty when the marshmallows start to melt into the hot chocolate. I have created a hot chocolate bar all from Aldis for under $15.

I have young children so I knew they would love adding chips/morsels to their hot chocolate. I found all of the ingredients at Aldis except for the peppermint chips, I bought them in the bulk department of our local grocery store.

I created homemade signs, found these adorable buckets at the dollar store to put the delicious chips in, and kid friendly mugs for the hot chocolate (also from the dollar store). The tiered tray works perfectly for the mugs and buckets. I found this cute Christmas tablecloth at Wegmans.

Hot Chocolate Bar Ingredients:

Hot Chocolate
Mini Marshmallows
Whip Cream
Red & Green Chocolate Chips
White Chocolate Chips
Peanut Butter Chips
Peppermint Chips
Chocolate Pretzel Sticks
Wafer Rolls

Spread holiday cheer and chocolate wishes with this hot chocolate bar. Everyone will love creating delicious hot chocolate drinks and having a sweet treat.
