A hot chocolate “charcuterie” board with every topping you can imagine!
Introducing food trends that everyone can support!
We all know about the traditional flavorful meat and cheese charcuterie board. It’s a super popular dish that looks great on Instagram, but it’s also an easy appetizer. But have you heard of hot cocoa charcuterie boards? This trend has completely taken off over the last year, and I’m excited to “sled” it too.
Just a quick wording note: I’m fully aware that “charcuterie” refers to meat and cheese, but you won’t find those terms on this message board. However, we’ve noticed that more and more people are using that term when searching for these curated boards, so we decided to follow suit to help with your search.
Hmm…these are the days when I’m convinced I have the best job ever! There’s nothing better than being able to photograph such fun ideas. Wow! 🙌
Just in time for the holiday season, we’re sharing a delicious hot cocoa board filled with hot chocolate, snacks, and all the sprinkles, candy canes, and marshmallows your family needs for a cozy night in. Customize with sweets that the whole family will enjoy and adjust portions to suit any size group.
Here are some fun donut snowman ideas to add to your tray this year. ☃️
To create these fun snowman snacks, I threaded mini donuts onto wooden skewers and added M&M candies for the buttons and noses. The scarf is Twizzler loose candy, the hat is a peanut butter cup, and the eyes are mini chocolate chips.
These are fun and easy to compile, so they would be a fun project to do with your kids.

Grab a big tray or platter and let’s go!
I love this hot chocolate idea because it’s so easy and fun. Even just having a large tray, platter, cutting board, or sheet pan can help. Personalize it by adding your favorite hot cocoa toppings or holiday treats. If you have a Christmas mug, it would also be fun to use as a candy cane holder.
