Best Hot Chocolate Spoons Recipes

HOT CHOCOLATE SPOONS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare your activity area making sure: Spoons are dry and ready to dip Sprinkles are set up in bowls or shakers Trays are lined with baking paper ready to lay chocolate spoons
• 2. Melt chocolate until silky and smooth
• 3. While the chocolate is still hot, dip the round part of the spoon into the chocolate. As you lift it out, spin the spoon slowly for a minute or two until it is a set enough to hold the sprinkles. If you sprinkle the chocolate too early the sprinkles will just drip off the spoon! As chocolate cools down you wont have to spin the spoon very long before you can sprinkle.
• 4. Lay the covered spoons on a tray and leave to set.
• 5. Put each spoon in a cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon or whatever tie you want to decorate with! These spoons are great for the kids (or yourself!) to make up as gifts or a nice treat for home.

HOT CHOCOLATE DIPPING SPOONS

Steps:

• Choose strong plastic spoons (can be washed and reused many times).
• Have your supplies out ready to go. Heat up your chocolate chips for spoon dipping first. Place a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Take it out and stir, then continue to heat it for 20 second intervals until melted.
• Once your chocolate is melted, dip your spoon into the bowl. You'll need to stir it around and turn it over to make sure you've got it all covered in chocolate. Then set the spoon onto a plate covered in wax paper.
• When you've got your spoons dipped, it's time to decorate them. For the snowman, place 3 marshmallows in a line down the spoon. I topped one with a peanut butter chip for the hat and a flake of coconut for the scarf. Then two mini chocolate chips get a tiny dip of melted chocolate on the bottom of them before you place it on the top marshmallow for the eyes.
• You can make a few different kinds of dipped spoons. One is dipped in melted peanut butter chips with mini chocolate chips all over: the "chocolate chip cookie" dipped spoon. Also sprinkle coconut on one or some to look like snow. Melted mint chocolate with crushed peppermint is another choice, and a melted butterscotch chips spoon with drizzled chocolate on the top. No losers here!
• Once you've got all your spoons dipped and decorated, let the chocolate harden again. It goes by pretty fast if you place your waxed plate in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes. Then they're ready for dipping
