Chocolate Candy Spoons | Recipe Hub 97

 Chocolate Candy Spoons

Chocolate candy spoons are a delightful treat and also great for stirring into hot drinks like coffee or hot chocolate to add flavor. Here’s a simple recipe to make chocolate candy spoons:

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces (about 225g) high-quality chocolate (dark, milk, or white), chopped (or chocolate melting wafers)
  • Candy decorations (sprinkles, crushed nuts, mini marshmallows, etc.)
  • Plastic spoons (or silicone spoon molds)
  • Optional: edible glitter, crushed candy canes, sea salt flakes

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Chocolate:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate until smooth. Stir frequently to ensure even melting.

  2. Prepare the Spoons:

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place silicone spoon molds on a flat surface.

  3. Fill the Spoons:

    • Spoon the melted chocolate into each spoon cavity or carefully dip each plastic spoon into the melted chocolate, coating the bowl and part of the handle evenly.

  4. Decorate:

    • While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle candy decorations, sprinkles, crushed nuts, mini marshmallows, or other toppings over the chocolate spoons. You can also drizzle with a contrasting color of melted chocolate for a decorative effect.

  5. Set the Chocolate:

    • Allow the chocolate spoons to set completely at room temperature. You can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.

  6. Remove from Molds (if using silicone molds):

    • Gently pop the chocolate spoons out of the silicone molds. If using plastic spoons, they are ready to use once fully set.

  7. Serve:

    • Use the chocolate candy spoons to stir into hot beverages like coffee or hot chocolate. The chocolate will melt into the drink, adding flavor and richness.

Tips:

  • Variations: Experiment with different types of chocolate and toppings to create variety. You can also add flavors like peppermint extract or orange zest to the melted chocolate for a twist.
  • Gift Idea: Package the chocolate candy spoons in cellophane bags tied with ribbon for a homemade gift.
  • Storage: Store the chocolate candy spoons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Keep them away from heat and direct sunlight to prevent melting.

These chocolate candy spoons are not only delicious but also make charming gifts or party favors. Enjoy stirring them into your favorite hot beverages for a delightful treat!
