A Dessert Table That Feels Effortless but Special
A chocolate bar works because the treats do most of the work for you. With a mix of chocolates, simple styling, and a few easy additions, you can create a setup that looks elevated without a lot of effort.
Chocolate is my favorite meal of the day.
That’s ok, right? Since chocolate plays a daily part of my life, I couldn’t wait to style a chocolate party, that could be inspiration for ANY type of party that you may want to host.

Myn Chic Chocolate Party Ideas
White Background to Help Chocolate Pop
With different shades of chocolate, I knew that WHITE had to be the overall tablescape of the chocolate bar, to allow the candies to “pop,” and really accentuate the “WOW” factor. Then I knew that adding hints of classy florals, would be the perfect touch of color that the bright white tablescape needed!
White chocolate pudding, with Crispy Chocolate Pearls as a garnish is the ultimate chocolate-chocolate treat. Style in a mini tasting dish, and it’s THAT much sweeter. (Besides, everything “mini,” is adorable, right?)
Party Favors:
I adore how you can easily order a small box of chocolates for party favors, and you’re even able to pick the color of ribbon that you prefer, so it can match right along with your party’s color scheme. You can even order a personalized version with your own messaging if your heart desires!
Stack the boxes at an angle on top of one another, or even use them as a place setting for each guest. No matter how you style them, they’ll look adorable with their classy gold box and choice of ribbon color.
Color Assortment, GALORE!
I believe my all-time favorite, was the truffles. The pinks, whites, nuts, swirls… they were all adorable. Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
Signature Milk Chocolate Biscuits
When I first found the milk chocolate biscuits, my mind immediately went to a little girl's “pony” themed party. The designs on the biscuits are quite possibly the prettiest chocolate design I’ve seen yet. A whimsical pink, and chocolate brown party wouldn’t be complete without these biscuits.
Caramel + Chocolate
The two combined, make my heart flutter. The wrapped milk chocolate caramels may or may not be in my online shopping cart, again. Already.
Caramel Pecan Bark…
This Godiva pecan bark is as good as it sounds. My favorite part? I could break it off into the BIGGEST piece, and say, “I only had one piece.”
DIY Chocolate Covered Spoons
During my coffee bar party, I wanted to include chocolate-covered spoons. But when I ran out of time, I had to save the idea for an upcoming party. We melted a Milk Chocolate Bar, and gently dipped each wooden spoon, carefully adding gold sprinkles to the tip. They were a match made in heaven, with the white chocolate pudding parfaits.
Milk Chocolate Cigars
For the men in the group, add a chocolate cigar to the party tablescape, and win their hearts over with personalized party favors that they can take home.

Karen Wood says
That is so Beautiful! I would definitely have to stare at it for a while before letting it be devoured. What is that little pan or dish that looks like a porcelain mini tarts pan? I would really like to get one of those but didn’t find one by googling because I probably don’t know what to call it.
Jessica says
Aw, thank you Karen! Well I bought that tray a few years ago at Pier 1, and I just went to see if they still have it, but I can’t seem to find it. 🙁 I’m sorry! But, it’s a tray that was part of their “mini” tasting collection that they had for a while. So small tasting dishes would sit in it for parties. 🙂
Amy says
Hey Jessica! Love the party theme… chocolate is most certainly a food group. Random (and probably dumb) question- are those flowers real or fake?!
Jessica says
Hey! Not a dumb question at all! They’re fake! But I purposely get these flowers from a certain section at Hobby Lobby, because they look more real than others. (Of course more expensive than the others too… but they look real!)
Emily @ My Love for Words says
This is so gorgeous!! I love the pops of color and flowers you chose to accent the chocolate. So pretty! And I sincerely hope it’s okay to have chocolate as your favorite meal because it’s definitely mine too! 🙂
Jessica says
Awww, thank you so much! Haha! It is TOTALLY acceptable to have it as your favorite meal! 😉
