Assembling Your Board:
The only requirement to assemble a Drinking Chocolate Board is to have fun! But to start, we usually set the larger ingredients on our charcuterie board. We separate out the chocolate flavors by stacking the chopped pieces on small ceramic plates. After placing the plates, we add the Theo Chocolate Covered Marshmallows, cinnamon sticks, and caramel candies. Then finally we started adding in the smaller ingredients, like the vegan marshmallows, salt flakes, and the Theo Drinking Chocolate crumbles.
