The only way to make hot chocolate better is to add it to a board of all your favourite chocolate and sweet treats.

As the temperature drops and we battle to stay cosy in lockdown, its time for the return of the best winter drink, the humble hot chocolate.

A simple staple to any winter diet, a steaming hot cup of cocoa with whipped cream and plenty of mini marshmallows is the perfect way to warm up. 

It might seem this festive drink is perfect but food bloggers have found a way to make it even better…

Introducing the Hot Chocolate Charcuterie Board, or platter, and they look just as incredible as they sound. 

Taking hot chocolate to the next Instagramable level, use hot choc staples like cookies, marshmallows, chocolate sauce, chocolate sprinkles and anything else with chocolate you can get your hands on.

It’s the perfect way to make a sharing board out of a humble drink, perfect to fix lockdown boredom for at least a few minute while you build and munch your way through it.

Make it an ultimate festive affair with gingerbread men, candy canes and add on Terry’s chocolate orange or Quality Street for good measure.

Take inspiration from Chipper Shop with melted sauces like salted caramel and dark chocolate and have plenty to dip, including all your favourite sweet treats. 

Or go large with an actual crockpot full of hot chocolate biscuits, chocolate fudge, doughnuts and even M&M’s like everyday_tables attempt.

Classmeetsmodern even put some pink wafer biscuits on theirs and I am not mad about it.

Will you be making one this festive season?
