Chocolate spoons

Chocolate spoons

Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk chocolate chips (or dark chocolate)
• 12 small plastic spoons
• Waxed paper

Steps:

1. Pour the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on MEDIUM power for approximately 5 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds. **Be careful, since microwave ovens vary in power, watch the chocolate closely.
2. Continue to cook and stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted.
3. Dip the tips of the spoons in the melted chocolate and set them on the waxed paper.
4. Let the chocolate harden. Place the spoons in the refrigerator to accelerate the process.
5. Tie a few spoons together with pretty ribbon. They make great gifts.

Variation: You may also add a special flavour to the chocolate with a few drops of peppermint oil, orange essence, etc.
