Celebrate Galentine’s Day with a Hot Chocolate Board
What’s better than a decorative Cheese + Charcuterie Board? Meet this year’s Hot Chocolate Board! Whether you prefer elaborate spreads or simple hors d’oeuvres, you won’t want to miss out on this sweet and festive dessert bar that is perfect for your Galentine’s get-together. Hot Chocolate Boards are something to have fun with this Valentine’s Day. They can be filled with pink marshmallows and red chocolate hearts; they can be adult-friendly with liquors and liqueurs for heightened flavors; or they can be both so everyone at your gathering is pleased with their treat. Boards can be all shapes and sizes and should contain anything that will melt in the hot chocolate, or dunk for a nice treat. Most importantly, they should add excitement and inspiration to your Valentine’s Day celebration—and of course are worthy of sharing on your Instagram stories!
