    CHOCOLATE COVERED SPOONS


    Source of Recipe


    Nelda Foust


    List of Ingredients


    • 12 oz. pkg chocolate chips (or any flavor you like)
    • 40 heavy plastic spoons
    • shortening
    • waxed paper
    • deep glass measuring cup
    • colored cellophane or Saran Wrap
    • Thin ribbon


    Instructions


    1. Pour chips into measuring cup. Microwave at half power for one minute. Stir. Repeat in 30 second bursts until chocolate is smooth and fully melted, but do NOT overcook.
    2. Add to the melted chocolate one teaspoon shortening for each cup of chips. Stir lightly until just blended.
    3. Dip plastic spoons into the chocolate to coat the bowl and about one inch of the handle. If the chocolate starts to harden, microwave 30 seconds at half power.
    4. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes. This makes them easier to handle when you start to wrap them.
    5. Take squares of colored cellophane and wrap the coated spoons. Tie with a pretty ribbon.
    6. Once you have mastered the basic technique, you can experiement! Try drizzling streaks of white chocolate over dipped spoons to create a design. Sprinkle colored sugar on chocolate before it sets for a holiday look.
    7. A bundle of chocolate spoons set in a coffee mug makes a nice gift.
    8. Tie a few spoons to a bag of gourmet coffee beans for a coffee-loving friend.
