I just love the way alphamom.com made a little snowman out hers. Isn’t that cute?
These chocolate spoons from deliciousdeliciousdelicious with the colored spoons make a great party favor for any occasion! Just think– You could do your favorite team’s color and have them for tailgate parties or for the Super Bowl!
Of course these chocolate covered gift spoons from BHG.com are just super elegant! If you want to wrap them, you could use florists bags or candy bags from the hobby store.

Chocolate Marshmallow Sticks
You can also do this same thing with marshmallows. Press a marshmallow on to short straws or lollipop sticks then dip in the any of the above and stir hot chocolate with them.
I love this idea; it’s a special little “something” to let someone know you’re thinking of them ~ thanks for the suggestion!
Ive made these before for my hubby and used them myself in hot tea (white choc for me)
I was wondering if other people really use these ? I am NOT a coffee drinker so I have no idea
I don’t know about coffee drinkers using them but they are fun to put with a mug, some hot chocolate mix and marshmallows or to use when you serve hot chocolate at a Christmas party or through out the holidays for special occasions. I think they would be great to tuck in with a giant mug, hot chocolate, marshmallow and a bag of a teens favorite cookies for a gift. Teen boys are sometimes hard to buy for so this gift would perfect for them. Anything to eat they love. Big boys would like them too.
chocolate an coffee go great.
actually hot chocolate laced with 1/4 cup of coffee got my son through his long shifts at McDonalds where he worked to help with university.
He hates coffee but needed the cafiene to keep him awake during midnight and early morning shifts.
just make sure the recipient isn’t diabetic. they know they shouldn’t but putting that temptation in front of them at the season of overindulgence is just downright cruel.
Thanks for the ideas, I was wondering what you do with the chocolate spoons.
Another thing too if you have melted chocolate for dipping your spoons you can take some cookies (store bought or homemade) and holding them in the middle dip one end of the cookie in chocolate and then the other end leaving the center free of chocolate. Of course you can then dip in the same things (sprinkles etc) you are dipping the spoons in and add them to your gift basket or on a platter next to your drinks.
I’m going to be looking thru LoaD website for other holiday gift ideas. I was so impressed with this one! Is there a special section for me to browse thru?
