Thought this was a great idea, but when I made them, I put them in the fridge for 30 seconds, and I ended up with lots and lots of little tiny bubbles in them. They did not look good for gifts. I was very disappointed. But on a more possitive note, the kids loved them!

i used baking chocolate, because i feel that chocolate-chips don't melt well. i am now in middle of making them but i find that the back of the spoon looks a bit messed up. maybe i'll try what someone said here and do the back first... but they look nice in their cellophane wrapper!

These were so quick and easy! I made them for Valentine's Day and used white chocolate for the drizzle and made a heart shape on the spoon using a plastic baggie and #2 tip. I used clear plastic spoons. I did not refrigerate and they came out beautifully and hardened pretty quickly. I also added a little shortening to the chocolate when melting and only microwaved 30 seconds stirred and then 1 minute in the microwave. The chocolate wasn't completely melted but soft and I just stirred until smooth. I think 3 mins would burn the chocolate unless you have a very low wattage microwave. Excellent recipe and I loved the other reviews decorating tips for different holidays or occasions.

I made this once for fun with some leftover chocolate. Most microwaves at 2-3 minutes will burn chocolate. 1 minute in the microwave and stirring after 30 seconds, should be sufficient. To make the drizzling chocolate easier, once melted add some vegetable oil 1 tsp. at a time to thin it out. A bag is not needed then, because it will drizzle great with a fork or spoon held above and moved back and forth around the chocolate spoons. Try some white chocolate to for a nice contrasting color! With that being said I always wondered what people did with these? It is kind of hard eating hardened chocolate off of a spoon. I am guessing for hot drinks? They have an elegant appeal to them anyway.

These are great to make for hostess gifts or to include in a gift basket for any occasion. I actually usually use a candy-making chocolate for these because it'll stay more glossy and you don't have to worry about it getting spotty or 'weird' looking, as I sometimes have that problem just using chocolate chips, but that's just my preference. Also, that way I can choose the quality of chocolate that I want to use. Same concept though, and a great idea! Also, like to either drizzle them w/ white chocolate or decorate them with sprinkles or small molded sugar decorations, just for a little more of a gourmet look. :)

this is a cute idea for parties or brunches or even for when you have company! i added a dash of heavy cream to the milk chocolate it makes it smoother and lighter in color make it contrast more with the semi sweet chocolate! its delicious in coffee and my kids used it for icecream! i use this recipe all the time its great!
