Snowman Hot Cocoa Bar

If you read Dukes and Duchesses much you’ll know I’m a big fan of themed playdates and parties.  It’s an easy way to have friends over and create special memories without the extra chaos and high expectations of a true party.  Hot cocoa playdates are some of my favorites and today I’m sharing a super simple snowman hot cocoa bar with you!

This party requires just a few basics: some white dishes, some black buttons, and the ingredients for a great cup of cocoa.

I used hot glue to affix black buttons to the front of my dishes {if you put the dishes in the freezer after the party, the hot glue will pop right off} …

… and to styrofoam cups.  Be careful with the cups because hot glue can sometimes melt styrofoam.  I applied the glue to the back of the button and put them onto the cups … do a test first to make sure the glue doesn’t melt a hole in the cup.

I filled one bowl with hot chocolate mix {the very best cocoa recipe can be found here or you can use store bought hot chocolate mix} and one bowl with “snowballs” {mini marshmallows}.  Provide a kettle full of hot water and guests can make their own cocoa.

The final touch?  A marshmallow snowman on a candy stick.

I used edible markers to draw a face on the end of a jumbo marshmallow {my edible markers didn’t have orange so I mixed red and yellow together} and stuck it onto a candy cane {I broke off the curved end}.

It took less than thirty minutes to throw this hot cocoa bar together and the kids were delighted with it!  It’s a fun way to create some holiday memories.

    That is so creative! I love it. I’m giving the hot cocoa mix to the teachers this year. I think I’ll embellish a little and make it a snowman theme. They are so cute!
