Hot Cocoa Station - and a cute napkin fold!


It's quite easy to set up a Hot Cocoa Station


All you need is Hot Cocoa Mix, mugs, hot water and a few "add-ins" like peppermint spoons, chocolate candy, whipped cream and sprinkles!


The extra treats can be tucked into a napkin pocket 
(directions at end of post).


These flavored sprinkle toppers can be found at Walmart:


The individually wrapped peppermint spoons add a minty flavor to the hot cocoa, or you can just eat it like a lollipop!


Another way to use the "napkin pockets" is to tuck a cookie inside


~~~~~~~~~

How to create the napkin pocket:


1.Use a square paper or cloth napkin and fold it into a triangle:


2. Fold the point of the top piece down inside to meet the fold....


...so it looks like this:


3. Fold the left point so that is comes close to the right fold and then fold the right point so that it almost meetss the left fold, over lapping, so it resembles an envelope:


4. Tuck one point into the other:


5. Press the creases lightly with your finger to hold in place:


These are cute for favors at the table:  tuck in a lottery ticket, little candy treats, inspirational quotes, tuck in a menu or place on a plate with flatware tucked into them!

  1. Your holiday cocoa station looks fabulous and inviting, Patti! Love your adorable napkin fold, too! I like that this technique can be used all year round just by switching out the napkin design! A million thanks to you for sharing! Happy Holidays!
