This easy entertaining idea thrills children and adults alike, and it’s so easy to pull off.  I love throwing a kid party because it’s always a judgement-free zone and everyone is just happy to be included.Take this DIY Hot Chocolate Bar idea: It’s low-effort for the host, but kids are THRILLED at the chance to make a drink with all their favorite things.

Marshmallows and sprinkles? JACKPOT.And honestly, adults are just as easily impressed.Adorn your kitchen counter with a slow cooker full of homemade hot chocolate and more sugary treats than any of us normally eats in a day, and it’s a recipe for giddy, carefree abandonment.

Maybe stash a bottle of Bailey’s Irish cream or Kahlua in the back too, just in case.It’s a party, after all! Choose as many syrups, fun toppings, and garnishes as you want.I usually stick with the classics like whipped cream, mini marshmallows, chocolate syrup, and candy canes and add one or two “exotics” like Pirouette cookies, peanut butter cups, or edible glitter.
