Galentine’s Hot Chocolate Board

Create a hot chocolate board including Nutella whipped cream to serve your gal pals for Galentine’s Day! Whether you celebrate on February 13th, official Galentine’s Day, or another day, enjoy catching up with your friends while sipping a mug of chocolate.

Colors for a Galentine’s Hot Chocolate Board

Start your board by choosing a color scheme you like for Valentine’s Day. I chose pink for this board because I had napkins with that color. Don’t feel limited to traditional pink and red. Try using orange, purple, or coral colors. Your Galentine’s board should reflect what you like, even if it’s an elegant creamy white and brown board.

Hot Chocolate

The kind of hot chocolate you serve depends on whether you want to make homemade chocolate or use a mix. There are fancy hot chocolate makers such as the Velvetiser, which uses chocolate flakes and an electric pot to create a cup of chocolate. Or you can heat milk yourself and provide a dry chocolate mix or chopped chocolate pieces to flavor it. You can also use hot water and a mix that includes powdered milk. Hot water works best when you have a lot of cups to make. Use a hot water dispenser if you need to prepare ahead of time or want to serve outside.

Hot Chocolate Board

Provide different kinds of hot chocolate on your board, including milk, dark, and white chocolate. You can create other flavors with add-ins, so you don’t have to buy too many chocolate mixes.
