Ingredients:
- 1 cup of high-quality chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 5 candy canes or peppermint candies, crushed
- 12 plastic or metal spoons (for dipping)
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by melting your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler for more precise control. |
| 2 | Once your chocolate is melted, dip each spoon into the chocolate, ensuring that the bowl of the spoon is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the spoons on a waxed paper-lined tray. |
| 3 | While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed candy cane pieces onto one side of each spoon, pressing lightly to adhere. This will give your spoons a delightful peppermint crunch! |
| 4 | Allow the chocolate to set completely. You can speed up this process by placing the tray in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. |
| 5 | Once the chocolate has hardened, carefully remove each spoon from the tray. To preserve their freshness and prevent sticking, individually wrap each spoon in food-safe cellophane or plastic wrap. |
| 6 | For a festive touch, tie each wrapped spoon with a ribbon or twine. These Chocolate Peppermint Spoons make delightful gifts or party favors, or simply enjoy them as a sweet treat alongside your favorite hot beverage! |
Now, sit back, relax, and indulge in the irresistible combination of rich chocolate and refreshing peppermint with every stir of your hot cocoa or coffee. These Chocolate Peppermint Spoons are not only delicious but also add a touch of festive flair to any occasion. Enjoy! ๐๐ซ
