Christmas Party Chocolate Dessert Bar

Are you ready for the holidays? Will you be hosting a party? I love to have a dessert bar at all of the party's that I host, that way the guests can try a little of each thing. One of my favorite dessert bars, is a Chocolate Bar. 

At this party, which I think would be great for "Ladies Night Out", a Christmas Party or even a birthday, I made Hershey" Famous Chocolate Cake, Double chocolate cheesecake with fresh raspberries, Snowflake Brownie Bites, several "Cereal Bars" and I also served chocolate candies for those that did not feel like more than a bite. 

All of these recipes are easy and many can be made ahead and frozen and then thawed at a later date to be served at your own party.

In addition to these recipes there are so many easy, home made treats that your guests would love.

You can also purchase items from the bakery and combine with an assortment of holiday chocolates. Or ask your family and friends to each bring their family favorite for all to enjoy. Whatever the case I am sure it will be lovely. 

What sorts of treats have you made for your holiday parties? I would love to hear all about them.

Kohler Origional Recipe Chocolates

I am sure that everyone is familiar with the Kohler company, the people who manufacture tubs, sinks and and everything else that you would need for a fabulous kitchen or bath. But I wonder how many people are acquainted with the Kohler Original Recipe Chocolates?

I first encountered the Kohler terrapins, or turtles when I was married at the The American Club Resort  in Kohler, Wisconsin. I was told then that Mr. Kohler had been on the search for the perfect turtle and that his chefs had actually perfected what he considered to be it after hundreds of attempts.  I can tell you first hand that the terrapins as they prefer you call them are out of this world! I received many boxes at my wedding and happily ate them while shipping champagne and I have been enjoying them ever since.

If you have never been to Kohler to see the Kohler Design Center,  the beautiful American Club or the Water Spa and you are in the vicinity you must stop in to the Craverie Chocolatier Cafe which sell and showcases the Kohler chocolates and sumptuous desserts. The Cafe is like a small French bistro with chandeliers and leather chairs and a fireplace to warm yourself on a crisp Autumn day. Not only does the cafe sell and serve the chocolates but also cafe drinks, soups and sandwiches.

The chocolates are also sold at The Greenhouse, which is an antique solarium from England, which was dismantled and then reassembled in the courtyard. This is another really cool place on the grounds, they serve light food, homemade ice cream and drinks all at Victorian marble tables.

My favorite terrapin is the white chocolate, cranberry and cashew, there are also coffee, and  black strap. In addition to the terrapins there are truffles, bars, pretzels, trail mix and many other things to try. I will warn you, this chocolate and the cafe are not inexpensive.
