Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups of hot whole milk or creamy almond milk
- 2 cups of premium halal cocoa powder or hot chocolate mix
- 1 cup of halal mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup of dark chocolate shavings
- 1/2 cup of crushed peppermint candies

- 1/2 cup of caramel sauce

Instructions
- Heat your milk in a large pot over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. Whisk in the cocoa powder until it is smooth and frothy.
- Place a large wooden board on a flat surface where guests can easily reach it.
- Put small bowls on the board first. Fill them with the chocolate shavings, peppermint bits, and caramel sauce.
- Arrange the marshmallows in a large pile or a medium bowl in the center of the board.
- Place the cookies, pretzels, and cinnamon sticks around the bowls to fill in the gaps.
- Fill the rest of the empty spaces with the white chocolate chips and stir sticks.
- Transfer the hot chocolate into a heat-safe pitcher or an insulated carafe to keep it warm.
- Set out clean mugs and spoons next to the board.
- Add the whipped cream to the board at the very last second so it stays cold and firm.
- Invite your guests to pour their cocoa and pile on their favorite toppings.
