How to Store Hot Chocolate Spoons

If you are giving them as a gift then you will want to wrap them in plastic and add a pretty bow if you choose and then store them at room temperature or in the fridge.

Variations of this recipe

Milk chocolate or Dark chocolate. Depending on what flavor you like your hot chocolate you can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate melting chocolate.

Chocolate Mint. Instead of peppermints you can use chopped up Andes Mints.

White Chocolate. You can use white chocolate with the crushed peppermint or you can add toppings like marshmallows.

Tips for making hot chocolate Spoons

Make sure the chocolate is melted thoroughly. You want to make sure the chocolate is smoothly melted before you use it or you are going to end up with chunky chocolate on the spoon.

Allow chocolate to harden fully. While you might be impatient like myself, when you are placing the chocolate in the freezer to harden back up it is important.

Use good quality chocolate. Using a higher quality chocolate will give you a better hot chocolate flavor.

How to Use Hot Chocolate Spoons

In a microwave safe mug heat heat 8 ounces of milk.

Once the milk is heated, add the hot chocolate spoon to the milk and stir until the chocolate is fully melted.

Top the hot chocolate with whipped cream if desired, if we are wanting to get really fancy then we also add some additional chopped up peppermint on top of the whipped cream.

Make a bunch of them and wrap them up and give them with a coffee mug and you have a simple DIY tasty Christmas gift that the recipient will love! If you are making them as a gift make sure you print out the How to use hot chocolate spoons printable to include with your gift.

If you are giving them as a gift I suggest wrapping them in plastic wrap or the plastic sleeves and then tying them with some ribbon. They look super cute that way and you can give them with a mug and have the perfect homemade hot chocolate gift.

You can use any plastic spoons that you want to when you are making peppermint hot chocolate spoons, but when I am giving them as gifts I like to use gold plastic spoons or silver plastic spoons since they look fancier then using a white plastic spoon.

How to Make Peppermint Hot Chocolate Spoons

Chop the chocolate into chunks.

Melt your chocolate using a double boiler. Check out how to melt chocolate with a double boiler if you have never done it before. Pour the melted chocolate into a mug or glass.

Dip your plastic spoon into the melted chocolate, be sure to coat the entire top of the spoon with the chocolate.

Place the spoons on a sheet pan lined with parchment or wax paper after they are covered in chocolate. Once all the spoons are covered in chocolate, place the pan in the fridge for 5 minutes to let the chocolate set up.

Dip the spoons in the chocolate again and sprinkle the peppermint on each spoon and place it back on the sheet pan lined with parchment or wax paper.

Place the pan back into the fridge for 5 minutes to let the chocolate set up.

Once they are fully hardened, remove the tray from the fridge.

If you are going to be giving them as gifts wrap them up in plastic wraps or holiday plastic bags.

If you are going to be using them, store them in an airtight container.
