I bet you’ve seen these beautiful chocolate spoons at stores during the holiday season! Do you know they’re actually super easy to make at home and you can customize them any way you like?! These beautiful and unique chocolate covered spoons are made with instant coffee – just place one into a large mug of hot milk and stir, then enjoy! You can also make these without the coffee for a caffeine-free drink. And for a minty twist, try adding a few drops of peppermint oil into the chocolate for mint mocha!

Make sure to watch my video tutorial for step-by-step instructions!

For this project, I went to a local thrift store and picked up a variety of vintage-looking spoons. I think they turned out great! You can also use disposable plastic spoons. I love to decorate each spoon with a different design! Try alternating the spoons with white chocolate, dark chocolate and milk chocolate. I also added some sprinkles; feel free to use any color! And, for a bit of toffee flavor, I also added some toffee chips. Just keep in mind those will take a bit longer to melt!

These chocolate spoons are the perfect gift to give to your family and friends during the holiday season! Just wrap them into goodie bags and add a bit of ribbon! Most craft stores will sell little plastic goodie bags, which are perfect for these spoons.

Ingredients

2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli brand)
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
shortening
1 cup instant coffee granules
Antique spoons or plastic
Optional toppings: toffee bits, sugar sprinkles, edible pearls, crushed candy canes, candy
Disposable pastry bags

Instructions

Melt chocolate over steam bath or in microwave. Melt chocolate slowing, stirring frequently. If chocolate clumps or doesn't melt smoothly, add 1/2 teaspoon of shortening. Do not use butter! Butter has milk particles that will cause chocolate to separate.
Combine half of the dark chocolate with instant coffee. Spoon onto spoons as shown in video. Place into refrigerator until set. Decorate with your choice of milk chocolate, white chocolate and/or various garnishes. Let set completely before placing into decorative bags.

I just got done making these awesome chocolate coffee spoons. I used the same chocolate as you, the problem is that I have to keep them in the freezer or they will melt. I don’t know if I did something wrong or it’s the type of chocolate that melts easily. I can’t wait to try it tonight. Thank you for your post, as I will be checking out you other stuff. Thank you.

  I keep mine in the refrigerator, too. Next time, try tempering the chocolate, I found that helps keep the chocolate from melting. Once you melt the chocolate, add a small handful of chocolate chips and stir until melted; repeat the process until the chocolate has cooled slightly. Hope that helps! 🙂

I noticed that your written instructions says 1 Cup of coffee but in the video you only use 1/2 cup of coffee.
