Plan A Chocolate Themed 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.

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.

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.

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 dark and milk chocolate pizzas are created using a mix of the finest chocolate and homemade English-style toffee. Then you can opt to add a variety of toppings, including a blend of nuts or perhaps M&Ms. In addition to purchasing a few pizzas, you also should consider buying a few tubs of the company's signature Peanut Butter Wings. These wings are the perfect accompaniment to chocolate pizza and are created by mixing locally made potato chips with creamy peanut butter and then dipping the wings into dark or milk chocolate. You can serve pots of gourmet coffee or dessert wines and liqueurs such as Port, brandy, cognac or even whiskey on ice.

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.
