How to Make White Chocolate Spoons for Valentine’s Day
It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! I’m planning a few surprises for my family— I’ve got my daughter covered with an adorable spa day themed gift basket, and my husband is getting a special dinner with RumChata chocolate pudding for dessert … it’s going to be amazing!
Since I love the holiday so much, I thought I would make a few extra Valentine’s Day treats to share with friends and family. I wanted to make something useful and unique, and finally settled on white chocolate spoons for use in coffee or hot chocolate.
I’ve seen these chocolate spoons at high-end confectioneries and was always intrigued by how they were made. Come to find out, Wilton offers a spoon candy mold that makes these chocolate spoons ridiculously easy to prepare. All you need is the spoon mold, white chocolate candy melts, fondant and sprinkles! The red fondant heart is optional, but I think it makes the candy spoons POP! To share, simply secure each chocolate spoon in a cellophane bag — they make great gifts!
