Hot Chocolate Spoons (Day 5)

Looking for something extra to help with your holiday hot chocolate?  Try making hot chocolate dipping spoons.  Its a fun activity for family, friends, and the kids will love it too.

Supplies Needed:

spoons (plastic will work best), chocolate chips (regular and mini), marshmallows, coconut (shredded and sweetened), peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, crushed candy canes, was paper, plate

Heat up your chocolate chips for spoon dipping first.  Place a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute.  Take it out and stir, then continue to heat it for 20 second intervals until melted.  Once your chocolate is melted dip your spoon into the bowl.  You will need to stir it around and turn it over to make sure you have got it all covered in chocolate.  Then set the spoon onto a plate covered in wax paper.

When you have gotten your spoons dipped it's time to decorate them.  For snowman, place 3 marshmallows in a line down the spoon.  You can use a peanut butter chip for the hat and a coconut flake for the scarf.  Then two mini chocolate chips for the eyes.  Get a tiny dip of melted chocolate on the bottom of them before you place them on top of the marshmallow (sprinkles will work also).

Once you have gotten all your spoons dipped and decorated let the chocolate harden.  It goes by quickly if you place your waxed plate in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.  When hardened they are ready for dipping in hot cocoa or hot milk.  

For a cute stocking stuffer wrap the spoons in cellophane and tie on a green and red bow.
