Hot Chocolate Bar on my Dept 56 High Heeled Holiday Table

One of the funnest treats during 

WINTER

is having hot cocoa by the fire.

I decided to set up

a 

Hot Chocolate Bar

for 

Christmas.

When trying to decide

where to set it up so that

the kiddies could

serve themselves,

I decided my new

Department 56 Patience Brewster

Krinkles High Heeled Holiday Table

would be the perfect spot

because it is so fun and it is 

short enough for them.

This is one of my new ebay

finds this year.  I had seen a couple

in years past, but one was not for

sale (it was at a store) and the other

was prohibitive in price.

This one was fairly reasonable

and you just have to love those

high heels!  It goes so well with

my Patience Brewster Christmas Cake Plate.

I found lots of fun ingedients

at the grocery store.

Many of them were 

Wilton products 

that I haven't seen before.

(Go to Amazon.com or ebay

and do a search for Wilton Peppermint

and you will see all of these products.)

I love these for sitting in a mound of 

whipped cream 

or hanging off the edge

of a cup as my cup of cocoa shows in the first picture.

The silvered chocolate balls are the

only ones I didn't get locally.  I brought

several bags of those home from Paris

a few years ago.

These fun candy cane spoon by

Wilton were what brought me to the

store.  My friend had told me about them.

 But I found these fun 

Wilton candy cane twists too

along with the curls.

These fun chocolate curls

were from the grocery store too.

I served chocolate syrup also

along with vanilla flavored sugar

crystals.  Everyone loved topping their

whipped cream with these.

These fun blue and white snowflakes

were a big hit too.

I stacked the mugs on a pastry tier.

They didn't fit so I pulled it apart and

was able to reconfigure it so each tier

was tall enough.

I have requests by my kids

to keep this one

up all winter and I think I will!

I will be posting this with
