Chocolate is something that many of us enjoy. There is something quite comforting when it comes to that familiar taste of chocolate in your mouth. Whether you enjoy a bar of chocolate, chocolate buttons, or even drinking chocolate, it is a flavor that we can all find joy in.
Chocolate has also been a wonderful option when it comes to gifts. So many people like the idea of gifting a box of chocolates, or even a hamper filled with their favorite treats.

How to Make the Chocolate Stirring Spoons
The first thing you need to do is to take a baking sheet and line it with some parchment paper. This avoids any chocolate sticking to the baking sheet.
Now you will need to melt the chocolate. There are two methods you could try. For speed, you could use the microwave. But if you prefer you can melt the chocolate over a double boiler. Whichever option suits you.
Now for the tricky and messy part. Take a wooden spoon and dip it into the chocolate. Then set the spoon on the parchment paper. Try and space out the spoons a little if possible.
It is time for the final touches. Add the sprinkles on top of the chocolate. Then place the baking sheet in the fridge for the chocolate to set.
Voila! You have your Pumpkin Sprinkles Chocolate Spoons. Enjoy.
Notes and Tips
- Be careful when taking out the chocolate from the microwave or off the double boiler. The bowl you will have used will be piping hot and you could burn yourself.
- Ensure that you are careful when working with melted chocolate. You will need to have an element of speed but at the same time, you want to avoid making too much of a mess or burning your hands on the melted chocolate.
- If children are helping, make sure they are supervised when using the melted chocolate.
- Always give the chocolate spoons time to set to ensure that you can remove them easily off the lining parchment paper.
Variations to try
- Add different sprinkles or edible glitter. These chocolate spoons will work well with any theme, so you could look to change up the overall look of them to match the occasion or to suit the person you are gifting them to.
- Add mini marshmallows. You could add a few different things to the spoons to give different textures but remember that they will need to melt so avoid anything crumbly like biscuits. Marshmallows will work well.
- Use bigger spoons. I have suggested some wooden spoons you could use but don’t be afraid to go bigger if you want to. This also gives you greater flexibility to add other ingredients to them.
