There are so many things that I love about the holiday season, but my favorite part of it all is making gifts for my loved ones.
While I know that the holidays aren’t just about the gifts, they are about thanking those who mean the most to you. This is why I love putting a little emotion and heart into the gifts I create.

I was inspired to create sweet stirring spoons that taste like the holidays!

How to Make Flavored Stirring Spoon
Heat chocolate (milk or white) or caramel melts in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then another 10-30 seconds until melted. Do not overcook, as the chocolate and caramel can seize easily.
Dip the spoon in the chocolate/caramel to coat completely. When coated, lay on wax paper top with candies or salt!
Any combination of coating and candies can be used! If you need some help, here are a few “recipe” ideas:
-
- milk chocolate with peppermint candy pieces
- caramel with coarse sea salt
- milk chocolate with white chocolate chips
- white chocolate with cinnamon chips
- white chocolate with mint candy pieces
- milk chocolate with toffee pieces
After spoons have cooled, cover with a small treat bag
and tie with a ribbon
in your favorite colors to give as a gift.
Can you imagine receiving this special gift for the holidays? I know that I would want to brew a cup of java right on the spot!

Where do you get the spoons and plastic wrappers. Would love to make these for me and others.
Thank you for the ideas you give in your e-mails.

You can use simple white plastic spoons from Walmart! Walmart may also have the candy wrappers in the craft section. If not, you can purchase at your local craft store. 🙂
Perfect to add with a mug for a holiday gift!! Thanks Rebecca!
I tried to make these the other day and my caramel spoons stuck to the wax paper. I even tried buttering the paper and they still stuck. Any ideas?
That’s strange – what kind of paper did you use?
How long will these keep?
Thank you for sharing your ideas about diy coffee flavored stirring spoons. This is really great.
Do you know how far in advance these coffee-stirrers can be made? I plan on making them for a birthday party in May.
I think a week in advance should work. 🙂
