Make your own Hot Chocolate Bar with these Free Printables

The leaves are falling and you know what that means – steaming hot cocoa with marshmallows and whipped cream as often as we can make an excuse for it! And since fall is filled with holiday parties and gatherings of all sorts, we wanted to set you up for success with a hot chocolate bar that you can throw in a pinch. We created free customizable printables designed for these peel + stick labels from our partners Avery.

We like to think that the key to any good dessert bar lies in the toppings, and the choices here are endless. Cinnamon, nutmeg, mint – you name it! We poured the solids in stout glass jars and filled clear bottles with sauces like caramel, chocolate and vanilla. For an adult get-together, Bailey’s and Kahlua are also great add-ons. And one of our favorite parts about using these labels is the fact they don’t smudge with drippy sauce bottles!

Whipped Cream
Sprinkles

To keep everything in order, we created an acorn and berry-clad design for all your label needs! It’s as simple as downloading this free template and printing on these round labels from Avery. What’s more, you can customize the text within Avery’s Design & Print Tool, so you could even use these labels as name tags for goodie bags.

It’s as easy as (apple) pie, and now you can decorate your hot chocolate bar however you’d like. We chose to make a kraft paper backdrop with suspended marshmallow garlands using a bit of fishing wire, and we added a couple fall touches like pine cones from the backyard and a mini pine tree for a splash of color. All that’s left to do is to toast to this perfect fall weather!
