Mother’s Day Treat
Does the mother in your household enjoy a warm cup of coffee in the morning? Coffee can be mom’s best friend by getting her up and going in the morning. For Mother’s Day make a gift that will turn mom’s plain coffee into a sweet mocha! You will need heavy duty plastic spoons, dark chocolate and white chocolate.
You can use editable pearls and sprinkle for decoration. In a microwave safe bowl add dark chocolate with a little milk and flavoring, such as vanilla extract or almond extract. Microwave chocolate for 30 seconds, stir and repeat in 15 second intervals until chocolate is melted. Pour melted chocolate into a mini-muffin pan or an ice cube tray. Stick spoon into the center of chocolate and let chocolate harden. Place pan in warm water and pull spoons out of the muffin pan. Drizzle melted white chocolate over dark chocolate and let harden. Place spoons in a cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon.
If mom is not a chocolate lover try melting caramel for a caramel sweet twist for her coffee. Give this homemade gift to mom on Mother’s Day. She can add this chocolate spoon to a warm cup of coffee in the morning for a delicious treat!
