Ingredients
To make Hot Chocolate Spoons, gather the following ingredients:
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white)
- 12 wooden spoons
- Toppings of your choice (marshmallows, sprinkles, crushed candy canes, etc.)
With these simple ingredients, you are ready to create your hot chocolate spoons!
Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Hot Chocolate Spoons:
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Dip the Spoons
Once melted, dip each wooden spoon into the chocolate, ensuring the end is fully coated.
Add Toppings
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your desired toppings onto the coated end of each spoon.
Let Them Set
Place the dipped spoons on a parchment-lined tray and allow them to set at room temperature or in the fridge for quicker solidifying.
Now your Hot Chocolate Spoons are ready to be enjoyed!
Tips for Success
When melting chocolate, ensure you use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture. Avoid overheating by stirring the chocolate between intervals to promote even melting. If your chocolate is too thick, a small amount of coconut oil can help achieve a smoother consistency that’s perfect for dipping.
To make the process easier, have all your toppings prepped and ready to go before you start dipping. This way, you can sprinkle them onto the spoons while the chocolate is still warm, ensuring that they'll adhere nicely and look as delicious as they taste.
Storage and Shelf Life
Once your Hot Chocolate Spoons are set, store them in an airtight container at room temperature away from direct sunlight. They can last up to two weeks, making them a great treat to prepare in advance for holiday gatherings or cozy movie nights.
If you make a large batch and want to preserve their freshness longer, consider refrigerating them. Just be mindful that chocolate can bloom when it’s subjected to temperature changes, so allow them to come back to room temperature before enjoying.
