All opinions are mine alone. #NestleHoliday #CollectiveBias The holidays are here and I’m already planning the recipes I’ll be sharing with my family and friends this year. One I know I’ll be making for our annual holiday party and giving away as gifts is NESTLÉ® BUTTERFINGER Fudge. Let me just say… OH MY! Holiday Treat Cart | @kimbyers

NESTLÉ® has a super easy fudge kit. It’s called the NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Famous Fudge Kit and everything you need is included except 2 tsp of butter. A few minutes on the stove and a few hours in the refrigerator and you have the most amazing melt-in-your-mouth fudge ever! I made a traditional batch and a Butterfinger Fudge batch! Want to make some? You know you do! {wink}

Butterfinger Fudge ... Amazing! | @kimbyers

All you’ll need is the NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Famous Fudge Kit, butter and a bag of the NESTLÉ® BUTTERFINGER® Jingle Bells. Just follow the directions on the box and in the last step, before you place it in the refrigerator, add chopped up NESTLÉ® BUTTERFINGER® Jingle Bells! I cut mine in half and a few in fourths, but I like big chunks of chocolate. {grin}

When I set up a party cart, in this case a hot cocoa bar cart, I like to have several sweets, beverages and of course pretty decorations to draw my guests in. For this holiday cart, I used cake stands to vary the height of my sweets, stacked fun and trendy mugs, made “take home” bags easily accessible, offered a variety of sweets and cocoa, and embellished the cart with pinwheels. All very simple, but since all the items stayed within a specific color palette, they all work together beautifully.

Now let’s get back to the food! In addition to the fudge I also whipped up some cupcakes to top with NESTLÉ® CRUNCH® Jingles. Aren’t they cute!

I made minis too. I can’t resist a tiny cupcake.

And with all that fudge, I couldn’t resist topping a few of the mini cupcakes with a fudge bite. It just made something decadent… irresistible.

During the holidays, no treat cart if complete without hot cocoa and these little NESTLÉ® packets are perfect. Easy to display and they won’t get cold! I just keep a large thermos of hot water nearby.

NESTLÉ® Jingle Bells

These cute little mugs are actually an easy DIY. I’ll share how to make them in a few days!

For all the yummies on my holiday treat cart, I hopped over to Wal-Mart and picked up a few boxes of the NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Famous Fudge Kit, NESTLÉ® BUTTERFINGER® Jingle Bells, NESTLÉ® CRUNCH® Jingles (they have Charlie Brown on them… so cute), and some NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Hot Cocoa.
