Chocolate-Almond Dipped Spoons

List of Ingredients



4 ounces semisweet or sweet dark chocolate --
chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
20 silver or disposable plastic spoons
4 ounces vanilla-flavored candy coating --
melted



Recipe


Try a chocolate dipped spoon for stirring your
coffee. The chocolate melts at the same
leisurely pace you drink your coffee. With
occasionally stirring, you get extra chocolate
flavor from the bottom of the cup.

1. Combine semisweet or sweet dark chocolate
and whipping cream in a 1-cup liquid measuring
cup. Microwave at MEDIUM (50% power) 1
minute or until chocolate melts, stirring after 30
seconds. Stir in almond extract.
2. Dip each spoon in the melted chocolate,
covering bowl of spoon and 1/4 inch up the
handle; allow excess to drip off. Place spoons on
wax paper-lined baking sheet; freeze 15
minutes or until set.
3. Place candy coating in a heavy-duty, zip-lock
plastic bag. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%
power) 1 minute to melt. Snip a tiny hole in one
corner of the bag, and drizzle coating over
chilled spoons. Leave on wax paper, and store in
refrigerator until serving.
Great Gift idea given with a pretty coffee mug and a sack of gourmet coffee.
