This might be one of the easiest DIY Craft Projects ever. Hot Cocoa spoons are quick and easy to make plus the kids can help! As it turns out we use a lot of melting chocolate around here… {See all our Fudge Recipes} and this is even more simple because it only takes one step. Hot Cocoa Spoons are one of my Reindeer Rest Stop treats for our Postal Workers during December as well as a gift that the boys give on Valentine’s day. You can diversify your sprinkle colors for pretty much any holiday.

How to make Hot Cocoa Spoons

As stated, this is truly the easiest DIY ever. All you need to do is melt your chocolate and dip the spoons. Done. Of course, you can add sprinkles to decorate them which should be done before the chocolate hardens. So here is the full out instructions and shopping list:

What you need

Spoons– I’ve used plastic {get them anywhere} and I’ve used the wooden ones {found here} to make them look a bit more fancy for Christmas.

Wilton Candy Melts– You can buy these at Wal-Mart or on Amazon HERE. They come in a ton of colors.

Sprinkles– Your Choice

Wrappers– Any style of covering will do but you will want to cover it before you deliver it. These ones work great!

Wax paper & cookies sheets– for drying

Step 1- Melt your Chocolate

I put the chips in a glass bowl at 30-second intervals, in the microwave until it is smooth. Stir it every round so it doesn’t burn in the middle. A microwave can do that.

Step 2- Dip your spoons

This is a “grown-up job” in my kitchen. Prior to dipping the Hot Cocoa Spoons, I lined several baking sheets with wax paper. Then, after I dipped the spoons, making sure to cover it enough, I placed them on the tray so the boys could then sprinkle them.

Step 3- Decorating

This is the kid job! They love it too! I put my sprinkles out in bowls but there is really no wrong way to do it. It gets messy but that’s all a part of the fun! Let your Hot Cocoa Spoons dry completely before you peel them off the wax paper. Wrap them up and you’re good to go!
