Hot chocolate charcuterie boards are the new holiday trend
Charcuterie boards are everywhere nowadays and who can blame anyone for how popular this trend is? Meat and cheese are delicious. But these days, charcuterie boards are a lot more than some salami, cheddar, and a few crackers. People are creating sweet charcuterie boards with cookies and cake slices and even hot chocolate boards with everything you need to make the ultimate cocoa.
Whether you want peppermint sticks, cinnamon sticks, extra chocolate, sprinkles, marshmallows, whipped cream, or caramel, you can put it all on a board and set it out so you and your family can make custom hot chocolates to your heart’s content.

You can even add cookies and other baked sweets to your board. They are great for dunking in your hot chocolate or just eating along with it. Some people even added graham crackers to make s’mores hot chocolate and I can’t say I’m mad about that.
Pretzels, candy canes, and cookies are the perfect addition to any hot chocolate charcuterie board
You can also include things like gingerbread men (if you want to make it extra Christmas-y), chocolate-covered pretzels, or even some flavored syrups or alcohol if you want to turn up the notch a bit. You can even use those hot chocolate bombs to make it more fun (please use the Baby Yoda one!).
