How To Host A Fabulous Chocolate Party

By Elba Fenwick


When planning a dinner party, it is fun and sometimes easier to plan your event around a theme. Chocolate is a superb theme for any party because it is one of the most universally loved foods. There are exciting chocolate options for every course of your party from the cocktails to the main meal and, of course, dessert. Here are some ideas to get you started.

The evening can begin with a plate filled with some chocolate appetizers, such as chocolate coated pretzel sticks and crispy bacon with one edge dipped in chocolate. You can serve chocolate martinis or perhaps champagne. If you do go with champagne, consider serving a plate of chocolate-coated strawberries.

When it comes to the entre time, consider serving up a big pot of chicken mole. Mole sauce is a traditional Mexican sauce that is created using a blend of peppers, spices and the finest unsweetened chocolate. It is a rich dish that you can serve along with rice and toppings such as crema, cilantro, avocado slices and chopped red onions. This is an easy entre because it cooks slowly and can be bubbling away while you chat with guests.

Dessert should be the highlight of any chocolate party, and while you could create a buffet of chocolate treats, it might be best to find a chocolate confection that is truly unique. Chocolate pizza is the perfect option. Not only is it delicious, Chocolate Pizza Company will do all of the work and ship this treat directly to your home in time for your party. There are several different types of chocolate pizza; some are created with milk chocolate, others with dark or even white chocolate. Best of all, they are packaged in an actual pizza box, so the presentation is sure to delight your guests.

The milk chocolate pizzas and dark chocolate pizzas are crafted by first blending chocolate with English toffee. The signature chocolate pizza features this blend topped with nuts and a drizzle of white chocolate. You also can opt for other toppings, such as chunks of crispy graham crackers and mini marshmallows. White chocolate pizzas are created using rich white chocolate blended with dried cranberries and almond slivers. You can serve the pizzas along with Peanut Butter Wings, which are a blend of crispy potato chips mixed with peanut butter and topped either with dark chocolate or milk chocolate. Serve it all with coffee or perhaps an after-dinner liqueur.

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.
