Flavored Stirring Spoons for Coffee or Hot Chocolate

[THE COFFEE SHOP]

These flavored spoons melt as they are stirred in hot coffee, releasing an even more delicious flavor with every sip! It’s coffee-drinking weather outside, so let’s make it even more special.

sample ingredients:

(any of these combinations will work)

coating:

milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or chocolate candy melts
white chocolate chips or candy melts
caramel
topping:

peppermint candy pieces
chocolate mint candy pieces
cinnamon baking chips
white chocolate chips
toffee pieces
coarse sea salt
tools/supplies you’ll need:

wooden spoons (plastic spoons would work, too, but not as special as wooden spoons!)
small bowls, jelly jars, or ramekins for ingredients
wax paper
plastic spoons for stirring melted chocolate and caramel (you can also use regular spoons)
treat bags (for gifting)
gift ribbon (for gifting in treat bags)
scissors (for gifting in treat bags)

Heat chocolate (milk or white) or caramel melts in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then another 10-30 seconds until melted. Do not overcook, as the chocolate and caramel can seize easily.

Dip the spoon in the chocolate/caramel to coat completely. When coated, lay on wax paper top with candies or salt!
ny combination of coating and candies can be used! If you need some help, here are a few “recipe” ideas:

milk chocolate with peppermint candy pieces
caramel with coarse sea salt
milk chocolate with white chocolate chips
white chocolate with cinnamon chips
white chocolate with mint candy pieces
milk chocolate with toffee pieces

After spoons have cooled, cover with a small treat bag and tie with a ribbon in your favorite colors to give as a gift.
