Chocolate Spoons

You will need the following ingredients:

Semi-Sweet Baking chocolate squares (NOT chips)
Almond Bark (you can find seasonally or in some craft shops in the Wilton section, comes in white and chocolate)
flavoring (I like to use orange, almond, or Amaretto)
a bunch of clear or gold plastic spoons (I've seen the ones sell in the store in gold but have never seen them retail-I use clear--a box from Sam’s)

Melt the chocolate squares over a double boiler and the almond bark on low in the microwave. Put the melted bark in a ziplock bag and squeeze it down to
the corner. Add flavoring to chocolate and stir well. Take a spoon and fill the " bowl" of it and dunk up about a 1/3 of the way on the handle. Tap against the pan to even out the bowl of the spoon and place on wax paper on a
cookie sheet.( If you lean the end of the spoon against the edge of the cookie sheet the chocolate won't run out). Continue with as many spoons as you care to make. Cut a corner off the ziplock and drizzle squiggly all over the chocolate. Place in fridge to set. Use cellophane bags (used to cover suckers- I found mine in a cake decorating shop) and tie with gold cording. Keep cool until ready to use.
