Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 Squeeze bottle
- 1 Funnel
- 1 Large bowl Optional
- 1 Saucepan Optional
Ingredients
- 8 oz Semi-sweet chocolate bar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Chili powder
- 1/8 tsp Cayenne powder
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a clean spoon mold on top. Remove the cap of the squeeze bottle and place a funnel in. Set aside
- Break up the semi-sweet chocolate bar into a heat-proof bowl and add 2 tsp of olive oil. Melt semi-sweet chocolate bar into a heat-proof bowl according to package instructions and whisk together until it has a thin consistency to pour. We prefer to use the double-boiler method which places the chocolate-filled bowl on top of a saucepan that has barely boiling water in it. For more information, check out our FAQ
- Whisk the cinnamon, chili powder, and cayenne pepper into the chocolate
- Pour the chocolate into the squeeze bottle using the funnels
- Now it's time to pipe the chocolate into the molds with the squeeze bottle
- When you're done, lift the baking sheet about an inch off of the counter and tap it back down while keeping the baking sheet level. This will help to remove air bubbles from the chocolate and allow it to settle further into the mold
- Scrape the excess chocolate off the top with a scraper or knife using gentle pressure. Chocolate should not be coming out of the mold
- Place the baking sheet with the mold on top into the freezer uncovered for about 20-30 minutes
- To remove the chocolate, gently pull the silicone mold away from each spoon on either side. Do not push it out with your fingers from underneath as it will break the spoon. The spoon should loosen from the mold and you can gently lift it out. Just be patient and careful! You can gently clean the edges of the spoon with a knife tip or your fingers to get rid of excess chocolate. Serve with your favorite hot chocolate or eat straight-up!
