Ingredients

1 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips
1 cup dairy free white chocolate chips
Optional: gluten free sprinkles, sanding sugar, or crushed gluten free peppermint candy

You will also need a silicone spoon candy mold.

Important: Regular white chocolate usually contains milk. Choose white chocolate chips that are specifically labeled dairy free if needed. Always check every package to ensure the ingredients meet your family’s dietary and allergy needs.

Instructions

Make the Chocolate Spoons

Place the Enjoy Life chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave for 20 seconds, then stir thoroughly.
Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat it.
Place the silicone spoon mold on a flat baking sheet or cutting board. This will make it easier to transfer the mold without spilling the chocolate.
Carefully spoon the melted chocolate into each cavity. Use the back of a small spoon to spread the chocolate all the way into the handle and bowl of each spoon.
Gently tap the baking sheet against the counter several times to release trapped air bubbles.
Add gluten free sprinkles, sanding sugar, or crushed peppermint candy, if desired.
Refrigerate the mold for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
Carefully peel the silicone mold away from each chocolate spoon. Avoid pulling on the thin handles, as they can break.
Repeat the process with the dairy free white chocolate chips.

Helpful Tips

Make sure the chocolate fills the entire handle so the finished spoons are strong enough to remove from the mold.
Do not overheat the chocolate. Short microwave intervals and frequent stirring produce the smoothest results.
Place the mold on a baking sheet before filling it so you can easily move it to the refrigerator.
Allow the spoons to become completely firm before removing them.
Hold each spoon near its bowl when releasing it from the mold to help prevent the handle from breaking.
If the melted chocolate is too thick, stir in a small amount of coconut oil—about ¼ teaspoon at a time—until it is easier to spread.

Ways to Use Chocolate Spoons

These chocolate spoons are delicious on their own, but they can also make everyday treats feel a little more magical:

Stir one into a mug of hot chocolate
Melt one into hot coffee
Use one to eat cereal
Serve them with ice cream
Add them to a holiday hot chocolate bar
Wrap them individually for party favors
Include them in Christmas treat boxes
Serve them during a Mary Poppins movie night

The chocolate will slowly melt as you stir, adding extra sweetness and chocolate flavor to your drink.

Holiday Hot Chocolate Bar Idea

Arrange the chocolate and white chocolate spoons beside mugs, hot cocoa, marshmallows, candy canes, whipped cream, and gluten free sprinkles. Guests can choose a spoon and stir it directly into their hot chocolate.

For gifting, place each spoon in a clear treat bag and tie it with a red ribbon. Add a tag that says:

“Just a spoonful of sugar makes the hot chocolate go down!”

Flavor Variations

Try customizing your chocolate spoons with:

Crushed gluten free peppermint candy
Gluten free holiday sprinkles
Mini marshmallow bits
Dairy free caramel drizzle
A pinch of cinnamon
Freeze-dried strawberry pieces
Espresso powder
A swirl of dark and white chocolate

Storage

Store the chocolate spoons in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks. If your kitchen is warm, refrigerate them and allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Avoid storing them near heat or direct sunlight because the thin handles can soften or melt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are chocolate spoons gluten free?

Chocolate spoons can be gluten free when all the chocolate, decorations, and toppings are labeled gluten free. Always verify each package because ingredients and manufacturing practices can change.

Are these chocolate spoons dairy free?

Enjoy Life chocolate chips are a convenient allergy-friendly option. For the white spoons, use white chocolate chips specifically labeled dairy free, as traditional white chocolate contains milk.

Yes. Place the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl over a saucepan containing a small amount of gently simmering water. Stir until smooth, making sure no water gets into the chocolate.

How many spoons does this recipe make?

The yield will depend on the size and number of cavities in your silicone mold. One cup of chocolate chips should make several spoons, and you can easily melt more chocolate if needed.
