Presenting your hot chocolate spoon as a gift Make a start by melting the chocolate of your choice in a small bowl. I went old school as my microwave had broken and melted this over a pan of simmering water in a small heatproof bowl.

When melting chocolate, it’s important to remember that it can easily burn. Your best bet is to use a bain-marie or double boiler. Simply boil water in a pan and place your chocolate in a glass bowl over the pan. This will make the chocolate melt gradually. There’s no such thing as too much hot chocolate in the winter.

I can guarantee a little drop of booze would certainly enhance your Hot Chocolate Spoons experience *for over 18’s only, blah blah*. Baking Chocolate: For some variety, I used a semi-sweet chocolate bar, white chocolate chips, and then milk chocolate chips.

Coat Spoon: Scoop the melted chocolate up in your spoon, and spin it around to coat the entire head of the spoon. You may want to dip it a couple times, letting the chocolate harden between each dipping to get enough chocolate on the spoon. Place the dipped spoons on parchment lined baking sheet to set. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle on your desired toppings. Sprinkle with desired toppings. Then, gently insert spoons into the chocolate in each cavity of the ice cube mold. Place the ice cube mold on a baking sheet so that you can transfer it easily later. Pour the chocolate into the ice cube mold cavities (it should fill about 14 of them). Fill them to just below the top, because when you push the spoons in, the chocolate level will rise a bit.
