Valentine Chocolate Spoons
Post by Giulia Doyle of Audrey’s
We like to make something small for Valentine’s Day – something sweet preferably, but also something the kids can make themselves. This year I decided to make Valentine Chocolate Spoons – a great activity – fun and easy to make. I’ve seen a few examples on Pinterest and here. You can imagine that anything involving messy sprinkles will be a hit!
Valentine’s Chocolate Spoons with Sprinkles
What You’ll Need:
- Plastic spoons
- Chocolate – milk, dark, white – I used semi-sweet chocolate I had left over
Directions:
- Arrange your spoons on a baking sheet or tray and rest the back of the spoons on spatulas to keep them level.
- Melt chocolate in 15 seconds intervals in the microwave and stir after each cycle until you have smooth, melted chocolate.
- Next, an adult should carefully add a spoonful of melted chocolate to each plastic spoon. *Try not to overfill to allow room for sprinkles. Once you’ve filled each spoon, go back and smooth the chocolate a little with your spoon.
- Once all the spoons are filled with chocolate, have the kids gently sprinkle smaller sprinkles over each spoon, then let them add larger ones. *If you add larger candy,such as jelly beans, make sure you wait a few minutes for the chocolate to harden a bit, or else the heavier candy will sink to the bottom of the chocolate.
- Let the chocolate dry and harden in a cool area. Once firmer, transfer to fridge so they completely harden.
*The baking sheet will catch some of the falling sprinkles, but you’ll find them all over your floors regardless. 🙂
We packaged each spoon into cake pop wrappers available at Michael’s. We attached a sticky label to each package and closed them with decorative tape.
We made some that were very pink and red, and others that included rainbow colors – the options are limitless.
