Chocolate Covered Spoons…

Do you know what the perfect addition to hot cocoa on a cold winter day is??  Chocolate Covered Spoons!

They’re so simple to make, and fun to give as gifts paired with some hot chocolate!  {yum}

What You’ll Need:

• Plastic Spoons
• 1 pkg. Chocolate Chips {semi-sweet or dark}
• 1 pkg. White Chocolate Baking Chips  {if making a smaller batch of spoons, just use 1/2 the package}
• Wax Paper
• Cookie Sheet
• Squeeze Bottle {optional}

What You’ll Do:

First, place a sheet of wax paper on your cookie sheet.

You can melt chocolate in your double boiler or by simmering on your stove, but my favorite method is… in the microwave! {easy!}

If using the microwave method, start by microwaving dark chocolate chips for 30 seconds {in microwave safe bowl}, then stir. Then… continue to microwave in 10 second increments, stirring each time just until they’re melted and smooth. {be careful not to overdo it} I usually wait until just a few pieces are left in chocolate chip form, and stir until smooth.

Once it’s creamy and smooth, dip just the lower part of the spoon in the chocolate mixture, then transfer to your wax paper covered cookie sheet.

In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and stir until creamy.  Drizzle over dark chocolate spoons using a squeeze bottle with a narrow spout, or you could also use a fork dipped in the melted chocolate and drizzled over.

Place in refrigerator, and let the chocolate set as it cools. {approx. 30 minutes}

Enjoy in your next cup of cocoa or coffee, or give some as a gift!  You can wrap the end of the spoons up in a little cellophane or the end of a ziploc bag snipped off and tied with a pretty little bow.

Give with some hot cocoa, and you’ve got a fun wintery gift!
