Using glass microwave-safe bowls**, place a bowl of semisweet chocolate chips and a bowl of almond bark chunks in the microwave for 30 seconds. (My microwave is always on medium-high heat.)

Remove from microwave, stir, and place back in for another 20-30 seconds.

Remove and stir again. If they're still not fully melted, add back into microwave for another 20 seconds. (The melted chocolate/almond bark don't need to be hot; they just need to be melted enough that they're nice and smooth!)

Begin dipping wooden spoons in melted chocolate, making sure to cover the front and back of the spoon. Lightly shake the spoon over the bowl to shake off excess, then place the spoon on a pan lined with wax paper. Repeat with additional spoons.

If you want to drizzle melted chocolate/almond bark on the spoons, the easiest way to do this is to spoon a little bit of each into sandwich bags, cut out the tip (start smaller!) of each bag, and then lightly drizzle over the spoons. This will help ensure an even drizzle.

After covering/drizzling 6-8 spoons, sprinkle on your toppings of choice. (You don't want your chocolate to cool/set too much before adding the toppings.) Continue making spoons until your pan is full, and then place in fridge for 5-10 minutes or until chocolate is completely set. It doesn't take long.

Remove from fridge and either package up spoons in individual cellophane bags or store in an air-tight container at room temperature.

Enjoy giving these as gifts with homemade cocoa mix or with your family and friends in cups of cocoa or coffee!
