How To Host A Fabulous Chocolate Party

Everyone loves chocolate and most people enjoy parties, so if you are planning to invite over friends and family soon, why not combine these two favorites and create a festive chocolate party? Every course, from appetizers to dessert, can support this fun chocolate theme. Here are some tips to ensure a successful chocolate event.

Greet your guests with a specialty chocolate cocktail, such as a chocolate martini or a chocolate-covered cherry martini. You could also serve champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries as a starter. Other appetizer ideas might include serving slices of the best crisp bacon dipped in chocolate or chocolate dipped pretzel sticks.

One way to make any party easier is to select a main dish that doesn’t require any last minute preparation, and for your chocolate party, a big pot of chicken mole is the perfect choice. This slow-cooked chicken dish features a traditional Mexican sauce that includes a mix of mild chilies, almonds, spices and cocoa powder or chunks of bittersweet chocolate. It is a rich, flavorful dish that can be served in large bowls with a side of steamed rice. Be sure to include a few toppings on the size, such as red onion, fragrant cilantro, crema, slices of avocado and perhaps some cojita cheese.

For the dessert you need to make a big statement, and the usual cakes, cupcakes and ordinary cookies just won’t be enough. What you need is something extraordinary such as chocolate pizza. Chocolate Pizza Company creates an amazing assortment of gourmet dark, milk and white chocolate pizzas and each handmade pizza is wrapped and placed in a genuine pizza box, which creates an amazing presentation for your party.

The process of creating a chocolate pizza begins with melted gourmet chocolate, either dark or milk, and this is blended with fine English toffee, which is also made on-site at Chocolate Pizza Company. After the “crust” is formed, a blend of nuts is sprinkled on top and a touch of white chocolate decorates the top of the pizza. You can also opt for toppings such as Reese’s Pieces, M&Ms or perhaps graham crackers and marshmallows. In addition to serving a pizza or two, purchase a tub or container of Peanut Butter Wings. These delicious treats are made from a blend of creamy peanut butter and potato chips which are dipped in dark or milk chocolate.

Another fun option would be to send guests homes with a treat bag filled with chocolates. Chocolate Pizza Company offers many options, such as chocolate truffles or perhaps chocolate-coated marshmallows. You also could hand out containers of Peanut Butter Wings or bags of chocolate potato chips.
