How to Make Chocolate Covered Spoons

How to Make Chocolate Covered Spoons – Chocolate-covered spoons are the perfect mate for stirring into a steaming mug of coffee, espresso, or hot cocoa! They make delightful homemade gifts, but also make your morning at home special.

These are also a fun activity to make with littles, then package as gifts. They easy to make and impressive.

Chocolate Covered Spoons

I love to give homemade gift sets. It’s really the perfect gift: you can mix store-bought items with homemade treats to create something thoughtful.

One of my favorite gift sets to make is for coffee lovers. You can package together gourmet coffee, pretty mugs, coffee creamers, homemade hot chocolate mix, and coffee sweeteners. You may even want to include a one-cup coffee maker. For an extra special touch, make my Chocolate Covered Spoons. Package it together in a bag, basket, or container that they can use over and over again!

How do you use Chocolate Covered Spoons?

They’re great to stir into any hot beverage. They’ll turn coffee into a great mocha and make hot chocolate richer. You can also enjoy them with any dessert or lick them like a lollipop.

They’re fun to make as a kids’ activity and take-home gift. They’re always a hit at birthday parties, Valentine’s gifts, Christmas gifts, or any time you want to give a happy to a friend.

Tips

Choose a good chocolate. Ghirardelli, Scharffen Berger, and Valrhona Chocolate are good-quality chocolates.

Chocolate hardens quickly so dip and decorate one spoon at a time for the best results.

You can make these work for any holiday or party by choosing appropriate colors of candy for Halloween, Christmas, or Valentine’s.

You can use disposable plastic or wooden spoons. Another option is antique spoons. They look nice paired with porcelain mugs and a specialty coffee.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Spoons

1. Choose pretty, clear, or silver plastic spoons.
2. Wash spoons and make sure they are completely dry.
3. For detailed information on melting chocolate, read my post: How to Melt Chocolate.
4. Have all sprinkles out and ready to use.
5. Dip the spoon into the chocolate and lay it on a sheet or waxed paper or parchment paper to dry. (Double-dip the spoons for more chocolate.) Immediately decorate with candy, sprinkles, chopped nuts, peppermint, or a drizzle of contrasting chocolate.
6. Allow plenty of time to dry before packaging your spoons.

How to store Chocolate Spoons

Store chocolate spoons in a cool, dry, airtight container for up to two weeks. They’ll keep longer than this, but the chocolate may become crumbly and compromised.  It is not recommended to refrigerate chocolate. Chocolate absorbs odors, changes color and texture, and sugar blooms when refrigerated.

Coffee and hot chocolate lovers will both love these Chocolate Covered Spoons. I highly recommend making them for your gift packages. They are easy to make!
