Hot Chocolate Spoons Recipes

HOT CHOCOLATE ON A SPOON

Steps:

• Melt the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips in the microwave (or on the stovetop) for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring often to make sure it's not burning. Stir till all the pieces have melted fully.
• Stir the peppermint extract into the chocolate.
• Pour the melted chocolate into the silicone ice cube tray. Spread evenly between at least 10 molds.
• Add a bamboo or other lightweight spoon to each of the molds with chocolate.
• Top the chocolate with a tablespoon of mini marshmallows for each mold.
• Refrigerate the chocolate spoons for at least 1 hour to let the chocolate harden.
• To Serve - Pop the hot chocolate spoons out of the silicone ice cube molds. Heat a cup and a half of milk on the stovetop or in a microwave, add to a mug, and stir the hot chocolate spoon in the hot milk till it's fully combined.

HOT CHOCOLATE SPOON RECIPE

Steps:

• Add some water to a small saucepan and place a heatproof bowl on top to create a double boiler.
• Pour your chocolate chips into the bowl (melt each type of chocolate separately).
• Bring the water in the saucepan to a boil and then turn the heat to medium-low to simmer. You don't want to burn the chocolate. Stir to gently melt the chocolate chips until smooth. Remove from heat. (For a time saver, you could also melt each chocolate type individually in small bowls in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring each time until melted.)
• Place the ice cube mold on a baking sheet so that you can transfer it easily later. Pour the chocolate into the ice cube mold cavities (it should fill about 14 of them). Fill them to just below the top, because when you push the spoons in, the chocolate level will rise a bit.
• Tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to smooth out the surface of the chocolate.
• Sprinkle with desired toppings. Then, gently insert spoons into the chocolate in each cavity of the ice cube mold. (It is easier to add the toppings first, but if some of the toppings sink into the chocolate when you push the spoons in, just re-add some back to the top.)
• Carefully transfer the baking sheet with the ice cube mold on it to the freezer for about 30 minutes (or until hard) to help the chocolate set. Or you can also set it at room temperature if you prefer, but it'll take longer.
• Remove the spoons from the mold by gently flexing the mold around like you would with ice cubes to release the chocolates and pull them out. Use right away or store (in a cool place) by wrapping in a cellophane bag and tying a ribbon around the top.
• To serve: mix a chocolate spoon into 1 cup of hot water, milk or coffee and let the chocolate melt into it.

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.
