| Hot Chocolate Bars seem to be all over the internet these days. I'm wondering if they're an extension of the Candy Bars that have come to be so popular at wedding receptions. At any rate, I saw one that used an old bottle carrier on the blog I already had a carrier I used on my patio table , , , so I gathered up some sweet stuff and set one up in the kitchen Here's a closeup of some of the goodies. I made the red bottle stoppers, but don't like them. |

| Yum, Yum! This is a really cool idea. I love the polka dot spoons. What time does the bar open? Baileys and chocolate sound delicious. Nana |

| Oh what fun! Looks so warm & cozy for sharing on a cold Winter's day! That carrier is perfect for all the goodies ... & of course, your creative art just makes it super special! I'm lookin' for the 'Elves' ...they must be around there somewhere enjoyin' this 'Hot Chocolate Bar!' (Hey, I'm wondering can 'Elves' read your chalk board? Ohhhh...of course, they can... What's the first thing elves learn in school? The "elf"-abet!) I haven't ever seen a 'Hot Chocolate Bar' but will look at the link you shared for the idea ... I did notice all the yummy choices yesterday at Gordmann's! TFS, OA! Love it! Jeanne S. |

| Yes, Fun, it has already seen its first customers. My grandchildren were busy stirring up their concoctions yesterday, after homework was completed. My husband said, "Just skip the chocolate and give me the Baileys." Some people are no fun at all. Jeanne, I'm going to use the elf joke with the kids today. They're just the right age for that sort of thing. (Actually, I never grew out of liking silly, one-liner jokes.) Sorry that the pictures are so yucky. Just used my phone. Want to get this idea out there in case someone had missed it and would like to set one up for their guests - big and small. |

| Oldalgebra, Give the Grinch some Bailey's...quick...and maybe he will turn into a jolly old elf. LOL! |

| OA, now look what you've done!! I have to start searching for an old bottle carrier because this is just tooooo darn cute for words! Love the chalkboard sign. Now I'm going to go have a cup of hot chocolate because this is making me drool on my keyboard. The red tray is the perfect "understatement!" LOL Did you make your labels? If so, how?? I think this falls under my category of: Dagnabit, now where am I going to put it once I find all the pieces? I need to be Christmas shopping and now its all your fault that I will be looking for hot chocolate bar items instead!! Yup, I'm blaming you, but also very glad you shared this clever and cute idea! Plus, I am going to have to buy chalkboard paint! (although I was going to do that anyway because of your clever patio menu board!) TFS (I think?) TeeHee, |

| Thanks for the positive comments, everyone. CC, you are a kick. I know that you have the creativity and artistic ability to take this idea and improve upon it in a major way. I just copied what I saw. I forgot to mention that I placed a two inch cube (painted red for the holidays) under each bottle in the back row to give them extra height. I did make the labels. For the chocolate labels, Make sense????? |
