A Spoonful of Sugar Chocolate Spoons (Inspired by Disney’s Mary Poppins)
These adorable chocolate spoons make hot chocolate and coffee practically perfect in every way! Inspired by Disney’s Mary Poppins and the classic “A Spoonful of Sugar,” these sweet treats are made in a silicone spoon candy mold using gluten free and dairy free chocolate chips.
Equipment
- Silicone Spoon Candy Mold linked above
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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
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.
