Instructions
HOT COCOA BAR SET-UP
- CHOOSE A TRAY FOR DISPLAY. Especially if you need your Hot Cocoa Bar to be mobile, I would suggest to place the jars on a tray. My wooden tray and jars comes from Etsy (link).
- GET LABELS. Labeling is not necessary but yet super fun and can dress up your plain jars. My labels come from Etsy (link).
- JAR 1 COCOA. Add your favorite cocoa such as peppermint, mocha, caramel or even habanero!
- JAR 2 MARSHMALLOW. Add your favorite ones such as mini, peppermint, cinnamon and even gluten free!
- JAR 3 CANDY CANE. Add mini one with original peppermint flavors or cinnamon!
- You can also add a few accents on your hot chocolate bar. I have added another Etsy shop (link).
