Remember when I made these guys a couple of weeks ago? Well I ended up overdoing it on the amount of deliciously melted chocolate in my double boiler and wanted to find an easy way to scoop up the remaining goodness, lest it be wasted or eaten in an entire sitting by myself.
The easy solution was dipped spoons! I’ve actually made these before with plastic spoons for a hot chocolate bar at a friend’s nesting baby shower, but it’s been a couple of years so I thought I’d revisit and share how easy, yummy and practical (can’t let that last bit of chocolate go to waste!) this is. These dipped coffee spoons would also would make great gifts if sealed up in a little cellophane and ribbon.
So easy and so quick, and they look so pretty when set out with coffee, hot chocolate, chai… you name it.
They could be covered in any pretty sprinkle or sugar for a customized look for a shower theme or party, or swagger with alternative chocolate colors (white over the dark, for example) for a fancier design.
The left over spoons went onto the coffee shelf in my kitchen – so tempting!
They won’t last longer than a couple of weeks before the chocolate begins to crack, but I really haven’t had to worry about an ‘extended stay’ problem :).
Making them is easy peasy, see this post for a better overview but the basics are: chocolate chips, double boiler, spoons (if using plastic as favors or gifts, make sure your chocolate isn’t hot hot hot or the spoons will melt during the dipping process), toppings.
Yum.

A great idea for a bridal shower event. They wouldn’t last long at my house.
This is so very creative! I want to try this also, can you post some tips and procedures on how to make this? pleaseeee :D
I want my children to try this also!
Hi GinoJum! I think I covered most of the details in the post – but if you have any specific questions feel free to ask :). Very simple – dip spoons in double boiler of chocolate and let cool. Mmm.
Being a coffee lover – I’ve had the store bought ones. These right here are far better. This will be on Pinterest no doubt, barista junkies need this. DIY is king/queen!
Can I just have the spoon and pass on the coffee? Beautiful photos, as always!
This would be the perfect way to start my morning…a little chocolate in my coffee…heavenly and pretty too!!
