Cocoa & Toppings
Good cocoa and a few fun extras are all you really need.
Rich, chocolatey cocoa in single envelopes. Easy for guests to make their own mug.
Ghirardelli Premium Hot Cocoa Envelopes
Giant marshmallows that sit right on top of the mug. Kids and grown-ups both go straight for these.

A splash turns plain cocoa into peppermint mocha. Set it out with a little spoon.

Old-fashioned hand-spun candy canes to stir right into the mug. They melt slowly and leave a little peppermint in every sip.
Hammond's Hand Spun Peppermint Candy Canes
Mugs, Jars & Setup
The pieces that turn a corner of the counter into a cocoa station.
Fill these with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed candy canes. Glass jars make the bar look so pretty.

Big 16-ounce mugs leave room for whipped cream and toppings. A matching set looks so cozy lined up.

A quick whirl makes cocoa frothy and cafe-style. Small enough to keep in a drawer.

A big wood tray corrals the cocoa, jars, and spoons so the whole bar can move from counter to coffee table. Easy to wipe clean after sticky marshmallow fingers.

If you make cocoa in a big pot, a ladle with a pour spout fills mugs without drips down the side. Handy for soup the rest of the winter.
