Well these little hot chocolate spoons are great for not only a super fun and tasty way to make hot chocolate but also for an awesome DIY Christmas gift.

You can use fun toppings like marshmallows or sprinkles for kids or dress them up a little fancier if you’re giving to adults… you can make a whole bunch and customize them for anyone on your list.

Here’s what you’ll need to make these hot chocolate spoons-

Plastic Spoons

Chocolate chips, milk, dark or white

Assorted toppings – sprinkles, crushed candy canes, tiny marshmallows etc.

Coconut oil

Jars or glasses, with a nice wide mouth for dipping.

Crock pot

wax paper or silpat

First thing you’ll want to do is fill your crock pot about 1/2 way full of water and turn it on high. The crock pot helps keep your chocolate liquidy while you’re working.

Now you want to put your chocolate chips in your glasses or jars, and add in coconut oil. I use 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil for every cup of chocolate chips. The coconut oil helps to make your chips melt nice and smoothly. Start with one teaspoon and add a little more if you need a better consistency.

Once you’re chips are all nicely melted you can dip your spoons. Get your toppings laid out and ready to go, and get your wax paper or silpat laid out too.

You’ll also want something to prop up the handle of the spoons while they cool, a semi squished paper towel tube does the job nicely. Alternately you could use a book, or blocks… anything that will make it nice and flat.

When you’re ready to dip, just put your spoon in the chocolate, give it a nice swirl and kind of scoop it out so you have a nice full and coated spoon.

Now prop it up and sprinkle on whatever toppings you’d like or give them a little drizzle of another chocolate. Let them sit until they are cooled completely and the chocolate is set.
