Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams High-quality chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
- 30 ml Heavy cream
- 12 pieces Wooden or plastic spoons
- 50 grams Sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Edible glitter (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, ensuring it's a flat surface for the spoons to rest while the chocolate sets.
Chop the high-quality chocolate into small, even pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam, but avoid boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften.
Gently stir the chocolate and cream together with a spatula until fully melted and smooth. If the chocolate has not completely melted, place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate cool slightly for 1-2 minutes. This will help it thicken slightly, making it easier to coat the spoons.
Dip each wooden or plastic spoon into the melted chocolate mixture, swirling it around to coat the spoon bowl generously. Hold the spoon upright for a few seconds to let the excess drip off, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Before the chocolate sets, quickly decorate each spoon with sprinkles, crushed candy canes, mini marshmallows, or a dusting of edible glitter (if using).
Repeat with all spoons, placing them evenly apart on the baking sheet to avoid sticking. Allow the spoons to set at room temperature for about 2-3 hours or speed up the process by chilling them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Once fully set, gently peel the spoons off the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 1 week. Alternatively, wrap each spoon individually in cellophane and tie with ribbon for gifting.
Serve by stirring the chocolate spoons into hot coffee, milk, or cocoa to melt the chocolate and enjoy!
