As usual we love testing the end result!

These spoons make cute little gifts for anyone including work friends, neighbours and maintenance staff to the bus driver and postie!

How to Make Hot Chocolate Spoons

Step-by-Step

1Prepare your activity area making sure:

Spoons are dry and ready to dip
Sprinkles are set up in bowls or shakers
Trays are lined with baking paper ready to lay chocolate spoons
2Melt chocolate until silky and smooth
3While the chocolate is still hot, dip the round part of the spoon into the chocolate. As you lift it out, spin the spoon slowly for a minute or two until it is a set enough to hold the sprinkles.

If you sprinkle the chocolate too early the sprinkles will just drip off the spoon! As chocolate cools down you wont have to spin the spoon very long before you can sprinkle.
4Lay the covered spoons on a tray and leave to set.
5Put each spoon in a cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon or whatever tie you want to decorate with!

These spoons are great for the kids (or yourself!) to make up as gifts or a nice treat for home.
