WHAT IS A CHARCUTERIE BOARD?
A charcuterie board is the art of assembling and displaying meats and cheeses. Whether for dinner party with friends, or an appetizer before lunch, we are all about “charcuteries” here at Awww Licious!
HOW TO MAKE A CHARCUTERIE BOARD?
Anything goes when it comes to making a board. There are no hard rules. Add your favorite items and make it your own charcuterie board, or think outside the box and create a hot chocolate charcuterie board. Charcuteries are not only fun to make. They are also super easy and delicious!
The Basics: Choose Your Chocolate
The hot chocolate is going to be your MVP of your board, so choosing a hot chocolate is important. But it’s the toppings going in the hot chocolate that will attract all the attention. Therefore, it’s not necessary to stress out about which hot chocolate is the best. A regular, rich chocolate flavor will work just fine.
Toppings: Important Stuff
The options for building a great cup of cocoa are endless. Toppings can range from chocolate shavings to flavored marshmallows and everything in between. Some ideas to get you started: Mini marshmallows, milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, candy canes, cinnamon, caramel syrup, whipped cream, or sprinkles.
The Scene
For some added elegance, sugar cookies, French macarons, or wafers can be added to your Hot Chocolate Charcuterie Board. Take it another step further and add a few mini croissants or other pastries. It’s a good way to support your local bakery.
