Let guests get creative by creating a hot chocolate bar complete with a variety of mix-ins that everyone can enjoy. Start with a batch of Gourmet Peppermint Hot Cocoa (recipe below), an enhancement of the classic beverage using three different Nielsen-Massey extracts: Pure Peppermint Extract, Pure Chocolate Extract and Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract. Provide an assortment of finishing touches, such as Vanilla Bean Marshmallows, peppermint stir sticks and spoons dipped in melted white chocolate or milk chocolate chips.
