Cozy season is in full swing! That means it’s time for hot cocoa to come out of retirement! This fall is all about warm gatherings, and we’re here to elevate your next get-together with a DIY Hot Chocolate Bar. It’s the perfect way to set a cozy autumn mood, and it’s easier than you think to create a spread that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds!   

Stay Cozy with These Essentials: 

First things first, head to H-E-B to gather all your essentials. Don’t worry—we’ve made the shopping list for you! Feel free to mix and match as you please. Start with the perfect, creamy hot chocolate base. H-E-B’s hot cocoa mix is a fantastic choice, or you can opt for a gourmet version if you’re feeling fancy. 

Next, it’s all about the toppings! I can’t have hot chocolate without mini marshmallows, but we did not stop there! Whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and caramel drizzle can take your hot chocolate to the next level. Get creative with it! Here’s the full list: 

Your H-E-B Grocery List: 

  • H-E-B Hot Cocoa Mix (or gourmet alternative) 
  • Mini Marshmallows 
  • Whipped Cream 
  • Chocolate Shavings 
  • Caramel Sauce 
  • Cinnamon Sticks 
  • Ground Nutmeg 
  • Peppermint Sticks 
  • Optional: Vanilla Extract, Flavored Syrups (like hazelnut or pumpkin spice) 

Once you’ve got everything ready, set up your Hot Chocolate Bar with cute mugs, a few candles, and the fall-inspired September Lone Star Living bouquet from H-E-B to complete the cozy atmosphere. 

So, grab your shopping list, head to H-E-B, and get ready to create some sweet, warm memories this fall! If you enjoyed this article, join our floral community on Instagram and Facebook!
