Fairtrade Hot Chocolate Spoons - £1.50 each.
Milk and dark chocolate spoons available.

Available at selected Oxfam stores nationwide.

Oxfam very kindly sent me two of these hot chocolate spoons to try out. My first impressions of these kind of spoons have always been mixed. I've always liked the idea and concept behind them but wasn't sure if I would like them as they look like pure chocolate on a stick, so mixing these with boiling hot kettle water just never appealed to me before! Having a quiet Saturday night in, me and Spud tried a hot chocolate spoon each, both myself and Spud loved the hot chocolate the spoons help to make (just mix with boiling water - add milk to cool for a child or leave the water until its warm).

The hot chocolate wasn't bland nor too rich, it was surprisingly just right no added sugar or sweeteners were needed so the taste aspect gets a thumbs up from me and Spud! For just a small price of £1.50 these hot chocolate spoons are a must have this Christmas! I have one to go in Spud's Christmas Eve hamper and another for his stocking! They would make great little top up gifts and would go great along with a nice mug for a hot drinks/hot chocolate lover this Christmas!
