Before your build your board, make sure you have gathered all of your supplies.
Supplies you will need:
- hot cocoa (obviously)
- chocolate chips
- sprinkles
- candy
- marshmallows (I used mini and heart shaped)
- mugs (I love buying themed mugs at Dollar Tree)
- A tray, cutting board, wood slab, etc.
The trick to a good hot cocoa charcuterie board
- First, include lots of toppings! More is more in this scenario. I love including two different kinds of marshmallows and both chocolate and fruity candy options.
- When choosing a board, pick one that is large enough to hold all of the toppings and hot cocoa packets, and not too flimsy.
- When filling your hot chocolate board, fill it well. Try not to leave any open spots on the board. A little bit of overlap of the candies.
- For heating the hot cocoa, I like using an electric kettle. It boils the water quickly and makes enough for multiple cups at once.

What kind of tray should I use for my charcuterie board?
You can be as creative as you want with your charcuterie board! In this hot cocoa board, I used a wood slab.
However, you can also use a regular cutting board, serving tray, or any other flat item you can think of. If you are looking for an affordable option, look for the cute trays at dollar tree.
