Nowadays, more and more people are getting crazy and brilliant ideas on what they should give away for Christmas.
While there's the tradition of giving away fruitcake, chocolate has also been another gift idea that many people have started to venture out on.
If you would like a new and innovative gift to give this holiday season, here are the tips on how you can make Chocolate Covered Spoons: Collect your materials.
For this project, you will need to have chocolate chips, small silver spoons, plastic wrap, cookie sheet, wax paper, and wire ties.
You can also choose to add texture to the chocolate by putting crushed nuts, candy sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or small pieces of gummy bears.
Prepare each spoon.
Make sure each spoon is clean.
If you have chosen antique spoons, you can use a silver polish to improve its appearance.
Once you're ready, you have to make sure that you get rid of the chemical as well as make sure that the spoons are no longer wet.
Water ruins the chocolate's quality and make your chocolate spoons look poor.
Melt the chocolate.
You can choose whatever type of chocolate you prefer: white, dark, and milk chocolate.
You can use your microwave to melt the chocolate in.
Just set it to 30 seconds on high heat.
If there are no more lumps in the chocolate, you can remove it from the heat already.
If there are still some lumps, you can repeat the process.
Just be careful not to overcook the chocolate or else it will have a bitter taste.
Dip each spoon.
Once the chocolate has melted, dip the spoon until its entire head has been covered.
Place it on top of a cookie sheet or wax paper so that it will dry on its own.
If you will be putting texture to it, roll it on crushed nuts, mini marshmallows, candy sprinkles, or gummy bears before placing it on wax paper.
Wrap each spoon.
When it has thoroughly dried, wrap each spoon with the plastic wrap.
Close the plastic with the tie wires.
You can now give away these chocolate covered spoons to people in your party!
