Hot Chocolate Spoons as Edible Gifts

Homemade hot chocolate spoons are so easy to make and you can customise them to suit you or your recipients. Yes, you can buy them ready-made but anything handmade comes with a big dollop of love and doesn’t that make a gift just a bit more welcome? 

You could make them by just pouring your chocolate mixture into a spoon and allowing it to set but don’t they look festive inside little shiny petit fours cases with silver spoons standing proud?

Such a lovely gift to unwrap on Christmas morning or Valentine’s Day!

A swirl of chocolate is just waiting for a stream of steaming milk, a good stir with that lovely spoon. Then, with hands wrapped around that lovely warm mug, back to present giving, carol singing, and Christmas making!

Ingredients and Substitutions

I used a really good high cocoa content dark chocolate for my vegan hot chocolate spoons but you can use any chocolate – hot chocolate is a forgiving friend!

If you want them a bit sweeter, add more icing sugar to the mix when you’re melting it. 

Extra Flavour Options and Toppings

You can add extra flavours to the mixture to jazz things up a bit!

  • A little grated orange zest for a scrumptious orange hot chocolate spoon.
  • Sprinkle in a little ground cinnamon for a super Christmassy flavour.
  • Top each spoonful with mini vegan marshmallows, chocolate chips or sprinkles – or all three!
  • Add a bit of festive sparkle with a sprinkle of edible glitter.

 

Presentation and Packaging Ideas

Present your gift by putting each hot chocolate spoon into a clear plastic bag tied with a ribbon and add an instruction label such as ‘Stir into hot milk’ or ‘Drink me’.

Or you can pop one inside a little tea cup and give the whole thing as a perfect gift. All your loved one will need is a pan and some milk, what a thoughtful giver you are!

You could even omit the spoon and just give a jar of hot chocolate swirls instead!
