Rate this article
Everyone knows that spoons are for eating, but with these chocolate spoons, they really are! Why not give these spoons as a gift.
What you'll need:
-
Heavy plastic spoons
-
Milk chocolate
-
White chocolate
-
Chocolate sprinkles
-
Greaseproof paper
-
Cellophane wrap
-
Ribbon
How to make it:
-
In microwave, melt half of the white chocolate in one bowl. Melt half of the milk chocolate in another bowl (either in the microwave on in a pot over a stove).
-
Dip half of the spoons in white chocolate and dip other half in milk chocolate. Dip them in as far as the base of the spoons. Place on graeseproof paper and let set completely.
-
When chocolate is set, dip the white spoons in milk chocolate, dip milk chocolate spoons in white. Dip only half way up the spoon to create a layered effect. Place back on greaseproof paper to allow to set.
-
Let chocolate set only partially (about 5 minutes). Gently dip spoons in chocolate sprinkles or coloured sugar.
-
Wrap soon in cellophane wrap and tie with ribbon. Add a little tag if you like (i.e. "Stir me into your coffee").
