📜 Instructions:

Prepare the Chocolate Mixture:
- In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup, combine the semisweet or sweet dark chocolate with whipping cream.
- Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) power for 1 minute or until the chocolate melts, stirring after 30 seconds.

Dip and Freeze:
- Dip each spoon into the melted chocolate, covering the bowl of the spoon and about 1/4 inch up the handle.
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-coated spoons on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes or until set.

Drizzle with Vanilla Coating:
- Melt the vanilla coating and transfer it to a heavy-duty zip-lock bag.
- Snip a tiny hole in one corner of the bag.
- Drizzle the vanilla coating over the chilled spoons, adding a touch of sweetness and an elegant finish.

Chill and Wrap:
- Leave the spoons on wax paper and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to wrap them up.

-
Flavor Variations:
- Get creative with extract flavors! Consider mint, strawberry, Amaretto, or any other extract that suits your taste preferences.
