all amounts can be customized depending on your preferences/number of guests! There’s no measuring required! I typically just do about a handful of everything.
milk chocolate chips
white chocolate chips
sea salt
powdered sugar
mini marshmallows
jumbo marshmallows
yogurt covered pretzels
peppermint candy or peppermint sticks
shredded coconut
Oreo’s
Trader Joe’s mini peanut butter cups
Trader Joe’s vanilla meringues
Trader Joe’s hot cocoa dunkers
Trader Joe’s cocoa batons
Trader Joe’s chocolate covered marshmallows
chocolate sauce
caramel sauce
whipped cream
Trader Joe’s crepe wafer cookies
hot chocolate of your choice to accompany all these toppings (here is an easy crockpot version which is perfect for a crowd!)
Start by placing the items that need bowls first (I used small coffee cups to hold things but you can use any kind of dish/bowl!): chocolate chips (both kinds), sea salt, powdered sugar, chocolate sauce, and caramel sauce (my chocolate and caramel sauce came in glass jars so I just set those directly on the board, otherwise you would want to transfer to a bowl/dish). Evenly space the bowls throughout the board and add spoons to each for serving. I also added a cup of hot chocolate to the center just for presentation!
Next place the largest items throughout the board: all the different cookies, jumbo marshmallows, + meringues. I had a lot of white items so I was sure to place those away from each other so the color was evenly dispersed throughout the board!
Finish by filling in the remaining space with the smallest items: mini peanut butter cups, mini marshmallows, coconut, etc. I used the mini marshmallows throughout to fill in the edges and any remaining holes.
Serve with plenty of hot chocolate and enjoy!
