Key Ingredients to Make Chocolate Spoons for Hot Cocoa

• CHOCOLATE OF CHOICE – Make these with dark, milk, or white chocolate — or use all three for some variety!
• TOPPINGS – Sometimes I’ll keep things simple with a decorative drizzle, and that doesn’t require any extra ingredients. But for fancier spoons, I’ll add toffee bits, sea salt, sprinkles, freeze-dried marshmallows (regular ones will get hard in the fridge), or crushed peppermints.

Instructions To Make a Chocolate Spoon

MELT THE CHOCOLATE: Begin by melting the chocolate in the microwave. Then lay the spoons on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

FILL AND DECORATE SPOONS: Fill a disposable cake decorating bag with the melted chocolate. Cut the tip off and fill each of the spoons with chocolate. Add any toppings or decorations while the chocolate is still soft to help them stick.

CHILL UNTIL SET: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is fully set.

FAQ

Hot Chocolate Spoons DIY Pro Tips

• Choose good quality chocolate such as Lindt, Ghirardelli, or other high-quality chocolate. It makes a big difference in flavor and melt-ability.
• Use plastic disposable spoons or vintage spoons for these! Hit up consignment stores, yard sales, or antique stores for those fun vintage options.
• A piping bag isn’t necessary, I just found it to be the easiest and cleanest method! You can use a different spoon for filling or simply pour the chocolate into each spoon. I don’t recommend dipping since the underside will look messy once dried.
• Gently press chunkier toppings into the chocolate. Just enough to secure them, but not so much as to cause the chocolate to spill over the sides.
• Wait to add any drizzle. Allow the spoons to cool completely before drizzling to get layered, defined designs. It makes your chocolate spoons for hot cocoa look so much more elevated!
• These last around 2 weeks when stored in a sealed container. You can also wrap each spoon once the chocolate is firm, then stack in a container until you’re ready to gift.
