Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Melting the Candy Melts

If you own a microwave, you can easily melt your chocolate or candy melts according to the package instructions. However, if you don’t have a microwave (like me), don’t worry! Here’s an alternative method:

1. Set up a Double Boiler: Boil some water in a saucepan and place a heatproof bowl on top. The steam from the boiling water will gently heat the bowl.
2. Melt the Chocolate or Candy Melt: Add the chocolate/candy melts to the heated bowl. While the instructions typically suggest removing the pan from the heat, I find that keeping the heat on helps the mixture stay smooth. If the mixture gets a bit thick and claggy you can add a small amount of vegetable lard (such as Trex) to thin it out.

2. Filling the Spoons

1. Fill the Spoons: Carefully fill each plastic spoon with the melted chocolate of candy melt mix. Allow them to cool slightly. The candy should still be soft but firm enough that it doesn’t spill out.
2. Level the Spoons: To ensure the chocolate or candy melt stays level in the spoon as it cools, prop the spoon handles off the counter (I find the handles of wooden spoons areperfect for this). This will keep the mixture flat and evenly distributed.

3. Decorating the Spoons

1. Add Sprinkles: While the candy is still slightly soft, sprinkle a base layer of your favorite sprinkles over the top. This will be the background for your spooky decorations.
2. Create Faces: Once the candy has set a bit more, use spare melted candy (or edible glue or jam) to attach candy eyes and other decorations. A cocktail stick works great for precision when applying small details.

Finishing Touches

After everything has set completely, you have two options for serving:

1. Leave Them on the Spoon: Serve the chocolate heads directly on the spoons for an easy-to-hold treat.
2. Remove and Use as Decorations: Pop the chocolate heads out of the spoons for finger-sized oval treats. These can also be used as unique and fun cake decorations.

Tips For Halloween Chocolate Spoon Heads

• Work Quickly: Candy melts can set fast, so have all your sprinkle decorations laid out, ready to go, before you start.
• Experiment with Colors: Use different colored chocolate, candy melts and sprinkles to create a variety of Halloween characters.
• Storage: Store the chocolate heads in a cool, dry place until you’re ready to enjoy them.
