  4. To enjoy this hot chocolate spoons, pour 100 ml boiling milk in a cup, place a spoon on it, and stir until dissolved.

Notes

  • Chocolate might look ugly once removed from your mold, since we have not tempered chocolate. If this occurs, you can dip the cubes into melted chocolate for a shinier finish. You can find here the printable labels I have used to decorate the spoons.
  • You might substitute 20 g sugar and add 20 g unsweetened cocoa powder for a stronger taste, or 20 g cornstarch for a thicker hot chocolate.
