Rae Dunn Hot Cocoa Bar Idea with Valentine’s Day theme
February is an awesome month for a few reasons. Not only is Valentine’s Day this month, but it’s also my birthday month!
As we wrap up all of the holiday festivities, I wanted to share this hot cocoa Valentine’s Day bar I put together inspired by all of my Rae Dunn V-Day collection.
Since we’ve been snowed in with so many snow days the last few weeks, I thought having our hot chocolate would be a fun way.
We recently shared a Rye + RumChata Hot Chocolate Cocktail with Snicker Marshmallows on the blog, using the highly coveted Rae Dunn Hot Cocoa pot.
Man, this thing was HARD to get, but I LOVE it!
I also ordered these super adorable Marshmallow Shaped Hot Chocolate Mugs-Ceramic that you may have seen with Rae Dunn-style hot cocoa bars!
People are selling these things for twice the price, but I found them on Amazon for a reasonable price. Aren’t they so cute?

I loved creating this hot cocoa bar with a Valentine’s Day theme. I was able to stop by Home Goods to find pink Marshmallows and other pink candy.
I found the pink candy corn at my local farmer’s market- Horrock’s.
Add accessories like the Peppermint container with peppermint sticks, more candy, red straws, and other red + white canisters to help fill the cocoa bar.
Using my Cricut, I was able to create a Marshmallow container.
This was another hard-to-get Rae Dunn item, and I wasn’t willing to pay an arm and a leg for it.
I just turned it over (the other side has Nutmeg on it), and I created my own Marshmallow container using a Rae Dunn-inspired font.

Zayd’n loved getting into the action of this hot cocoa bar, especially the candy! (go figure)
I can always count on Zayd’n to have fun with it!
He’s such a fun kid!
Gnomes are super popular in Rae Dunn displays, and you can find them at Home Goods, Marshall’s, or TJ Maxx.
I love how everything came together. All the off-white items played well with the red and pink items.
I tried not to overdo it with pink items because I live in a house full of boys.
This peppermint latte cabinet is another highly coveted item that was hard to nab during the Christmas season.
I am incredibly grateful that a Rae Dunn buddy found one for me. I love how it fits in with this display.
The off-white with red trim shabby chic stand came from a local antique store.
I scored a set for 60% off with an after-Christmas sale.
Out of all the Rae Dunn stuff, the mugs are still my favorite items to collect.
I love the mugs because, with each one, I can express how I feel on any given day.
Another fun item I was able to add to this addition was the Farmhouse Two-Tiered Stand.
I’ve had my eye on it for several months and finally broke down to purchase it from a seller on Etsy.
It took a few weeks to arrive since it was a handmade order, but it was well worth the wait!
When it boils down to putting together this hot cocoa bar, it was just about styling it, using items complimenting each other, and having fun bringing it all together.
