HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE DIPPED SPOONS

Steps:

• Place 1 cup (150 g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Don't mix in the other types of chocolate yet, as you will need to use the milk chocolate and white chocolate chips for decorations later on. Make sure to use a bowl large enough to hold all of your chocolate chips. Look for a symbol shaped like a microwave with three wavy lines on the bottom of tupperware and glass containers to see if they are safe to use in the microwave.
• Microwave the chocolate chips for 2 to 3 minutes, in 30 second bursts. Keep a close eye on the chocolate while it is melting in the microwave to prevent overheating or burning the chocolate. Pull out the bowl every 30 seconds to give the chocolate a light stir, to prevent the chocolate from burning or bubbling. When every chocolate chip has melted, stir the liquid chocolate until it is smooth with a wooden spoon. If you don't have a microwave, you can place the bowl on top of a boiling saucepan full of water to heat up the chocolate with hot steam. This works in the same way that heating fondue works. Be sure to completely cover the saucepan with the bowl to prevent steam from coming out of the edges.
• Stir the melted chocolate until the mix is smooth and even. Using a wooden spoon, gently stir the mix while you look for unmelted chunks of chocolate. If the rest of the chocolate is hot, the chunks should melt within a few seconds, but if the chunks are particularly large you may need to microwave it for another 30 seconds. Do not dilute the mix with water or butter as this can separate the chocolate and ruin its consistency.
• Dip each spoon into the chocolate so it covers the front bowl. Avoid getting chocolate too far up the handle of the spoon or the person using it may get chocolate on their fingers, and it can be more difficult to handle during the cooling process. Aim to get a thick coating of chocolate only on the head of the spoon by dipping it straight down into the melty goodness. If you accidentally dip one too far, use a wet paper towel to wipe away the excess chocolate from the handle. Be careful not to wipe the bowl of the spoon.
