Instructions

Prepare the chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), melt the dark chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth.

Pro tip: Make sure the bowl does not touch the water to prevent overheating the chocolate.

Prepare the spoons

Lay the spoons flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Coat the spoons

Dip each spoon into the melted chocolate, covering the bowl of the spoon completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

Add toppings

Sprinkle the coated spoons with sprinkles or crushed candy canes while the chocolate is still wet.

Pro tip: Work quickly to ensure the toppings adhere to the chocolate.

Set the chocolate

Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.

Wrap and store

Once set, wrap each spoon in cellophane and store in an airtight container until ready to use or gift.

Pro tip: Ensure spoons are completely dry before wrapping to prevent sticking.
