I am a new consultant looking for some ideas for a christmas cookie show with a cookie and hot chocolate theme. I wanted to set up cookie making stations and a hot chocolate bar. I have found a lot about the cookie set up but does anyone have any suggestions about a hot chocolate bar? Thanks!!

Maybe the carafe for keeping water hot. The guests could add the hot chocolate mix themselves in the Simple Additions mugs if you have them. The Easy Accent Decorator for whipped cream on top of the drink. The Microplane or the Cheese Grater for chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream or a bar of chocolate and the Vegetable Peeler for chocolate curls. Some people like cinnamon in their hot chocolate so some of our pantry cinnamon. Hope these work!
