HOW TO MAKE PEPPERMINT SPOONS

Steps:

• Grind up peppermints in a food processor, or by placing them in freezer bag and hitting them with a rolling pin.
• Spoon ground up peppermints into a silicone spoon mold. They'll shrink as they melt, so overfill the mold a bit.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-8 minutes, or until peppermints are fully melted.
• Add more peppermints to the mold as needed. Then, return the mold to the oven for another 5-8 minutes. Spoons will be smooth, when they're done.
• Allow to cool. Then, unmold, and snap off any extra pieces.

CHOCOLATE AND PEPPERMINT COFFEE SPOONS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is combined.
• Put the peppermint candies in a plastic bag and smash manually, or put in a food processor and pulse for a more even consistency.
• Dip a coffee spoon into the chocolate mixture and twirl so that the chocolate coats the spoon evenly. Place on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle immediately with the peppermint candies. Repeat with 3 additional spoons. Allow to set in a refrigerator for 10 minutes.

DIPPED PEPPERMINT SPOONS

Steps:

• LINE baking sheet with wax paper.
• MICROWAVE semi-sweet morsels and vegetable shortening in small, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 20 seconds; STIR. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted.
• DIP the end of each spoon in melted chocolate, tilting bowl to easily dip. Use side of bowl to remove excess. Place on prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until set.
• MICROWAVE white morsels in small, heavy-duty plastic bag on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 20 seconds; knead. Microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, kneading until smooth. Cut tiny corner from each bag. Squeeze to drizzle over ends of already dipped spoons. Dip spoons in crushed peppermints; return to baking sheet. Let stand until set. Insert spoons into bags and secure with ties. Store at room temperature.

PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE SPOONS

Steps:

• 1. 1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil. 2. Crush the candy canes by placing them in a blender or food processor, and pulsing it on/off until the candy is in small pieces. Alternately, you can place the canes in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to finely crush them. Separate out the large pieces for another use, and place the small shards in a bowl. The crushed candy pieces will get sticky if left for a long time at room temperature, so if you are not going to immediately use them, place them in a Ziploc bag to protect it. 3. Place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring after every minute to prevent overheating. 4. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, begin dipping the spoons in the chocolate. Hold a spoon by the tip of the handle and dip it 2/3 of the way into the chocolate. Depending on the shape of your bowl, you may want to use another spoon to ladle chocolate over the back of the spoon, ensuring even coverage. Tap the spoon against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then hold the spoon over the bowl of candy canes pieces. Sprinkle the pieces in a light layer over the front and back of the spoon. Place the spoon bowl-up on the baking sheet, then repeat with remaining candy and spoons. 5. Place the spoons in the refrigerator to set the chocolate for 15 minutes. Once set, the spoons can be packaged and given as gifts. The spoons should be fine in most room temperature environments, but they will start to melt if they get warm. They can be stored for over a month in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
