Why Make a Hot Chocolate Charcuterie?

Before you make this board, you must learn how to say Charcuterie. It is pronounced shar-koo-tuh-ree. These boards are traditionally made with meats and cheeses but have become very popular over the years to involve treats, fruits, vegetables, and crackers. Basically, you can put anything you want on them, and it becomes a giant, themed snack board that looks stunning.

This board, in particular, is perfect for any family get-togethers or parties throughout the cold, winter months! Because it’s based around (you guessed it!) hot chocolate, it really can go with any winter holiday. I love having different options for mix-ins and toppings for my hot chocolate and this is such a new and creative way to display them all! Use some homemade marshmallows on this board, and it will really take it over the top!

Ingredients to Make a Hot Chocolate Charcuterie

The ideas that I came up with for this hot chocolate mix are not where it ends! Whatever you love to put in your hot chocolate, or even the flavors of your hot chocolate mix can be changed up! Or, make this board even bigger and add more to it!

I only used one bowl of hot chocolate mix on the board, but you could do a couple to add in a variety. I also did a few homemade things,, but this board’s great thing is that everything can be store-bought! Gather up your list of ingredients and grab them all at the store. Put this together, and then you will have such a fun display for these delicious mix-ins!

  • Make a few small ones: A way to really pack a punch and show people how awesome these are is instead of making one large one, you can make a few smaller boards that have different things on them. Make one for meats and cheese, one for treats, and another one for fruits or veggies. Then you can have even more options for your uests!
