It might be too sweltering outside for hot cocoa, but the temperature is just right for some iced cocoa, a.k.a. chocolate milk. Set up a bar with traditional cocoa toppings like marshmallows, hundreds and thousands and whipped cream to create your own delicious, summer-appropriate creations. Don’t forget the festive straws!

Use summer-ripe strawberries to create a festive treat that looks just like the cap Santa wears on his noggin! Start with a small biscuit of your choice, and simply add a swirl of whipped cream on top. Place a trimmed strawberry, fat side down, onto the biscuit, and add a dollop of whipped cream on top to act as the hat’s pom-pom. Bon appétit!
