(photo taken AFTER the party when many of the chocolate mustaches were gone)
Here's what I included:
- Candy mustaches on sticks which were secured in styrofoam below some decorative grass in a canister
- Starbucks Via instant coffee singles (mocha anyone?)
- Fresh whipped cream
- White chocolate and peppermint syrups
- Buttermints
- Vegan marshmellows
- Regular mini marshmallows
- Cinnamon and sugar in separate shakers
- Rich, thick homemade hot chocolate (see recipe below)
I made hot chocolate on the stove top then transferred some of it to the insulated pot you see on the table there. Here's the recipe I used:
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup blue agave nectar
- 1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa
- Dash of salt
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 4 cups vanilla soy milk
I followed the instructions on the cocoa container which said to mix the sugar (agave), cocoa, salt and 1/3 cup of water in a saucepan. I cooked it over medium heat until it boiled then kept it boiling for at least 2 minutes. Then I poured in the soy milk and heated to a good drinking temperature.
The agave made it nice and thick but I found I was able to drink several cups without getting a sugar rush which is a nice thing about agave.
Thank you for reading,
Julie
