It’s no secret that Starbucks® is my go-to coffee brand. Ever since my boys were tiny (when I was lucky to get a few hours of sleep each night) I needed a good (strong) coffee to get me through my day. Nowadays, I get a lot more sleep since my boys are in elementary school, but I still enjoy my daily cup of Starbucks® Coffee.
With the holidays quickly approaching I thought it would be fun to put together a coffee bar. I kept the decorations simple, going with a plaid tablecloth and red and wood accents. I love the “baby it’s cold outside” theme as well so I included a cute sign to encourage my guests to enjoy a warm cup of coffee.
Along with the Starbucks® Holiday Blend 60ct K-Cup® pods, I added a jar full of Lindt Chocolate Assorted Lindor Truffles and some little glass jars of add-ins including nutmeg, sugar and crushed peppermint pieces. I also made stir spoons out of the truffles because what is better than coffee and chocolate? The sweet, rich taste of Lindt Chocolate Lindor Truffles brings out the sweet maple flavor of Starbucks® Holiday Blend Coffee.
(Hover over the image above to shop directly from it!)
The spoons were simple to make. I used 12 Lindt Chocolate Lindor Truffles (dark and milk chocolate varieties) and melted them over low heat until they were a liquid. I then poured the melted chocolate into a silicone mold and refrigerated them for 2 hours. After the chocolate hardened I gently released the chocolate spoons from the silicone mold and placed them in a wooden tray. (The 12 truffles made about 8 chocolate stir spoons.)
The last things you’ll want to add to your coffee bar are holiday mugs. I love big mugs and this one with the words “choose joy” is one of my favorites! Once your coffee bar is all set up you will *have* to test it out. Let the scent of coffee brewing fill your room as you sneak a truffle!
If you entertain often, I’m sure you know how fabulous buying in bulk is so you’ll be happy to know you can find both the Starbucks® Holiday Blend 60ct K-Cup® pods and the Lindt Chocolate Assorted Lindor Truffle Bag at your local Sam’s Club in the coffee and candy aisles. You can enjoy 50 bonus stars with purchase of any one qualifying Starbucks® packaged coffee or K-Cup® pods at Sam’s Club through 11/1/17-12/26/17.
How are you preparing for the holidays? Will you be discovering a new holiday combination as you set up a coffee bar for your guests to enjoy?
Those spoons are fantastic! Usually, you see a real spoon coated in chocolate. I have NEVER seen an actual 100% chocolate spoon.
I love the idea of a coffee bar, but you went one step further. A spoon made entirely of chocolate is pure genius.
Love the chocolate spoons. I don’t drink coffee, but absolutely love the way it smells. These spoons would be great for a hot chocolate bar as well.
I need to be a guest at your house! You have such cute stuff and I love the coffee bar. It is so creative.
I really, really love them chocolate spoons. You did an awesome job and made me want to decorate my home! #client
I’ve never even thought about using the chocolate mix in spoons. Brilliant! This would be fun with hot chocolate too!
I totally want to recreate the whole coffee bar with the spoons and all. I am going to make that tree garland because it is SO CUTE!!
Thes chocolate stir spoons are a great idea. What a fun and whimsical treat.
Oh my those spoons look fun and delicious!!! I love your coffee bar!
These chocolate spoons are a great idea. I love to drink coffee all day. I will have to pick up some Starbucks Holiday Blend K-Cup pods.
Now this was an amazing coffee bar. I totally have to make spoons like that for various special occasions. We’ll need plenty of holiday k-cups too.
I need one of those molds! I wouldn’t stir with them, I’d just eat them!
Chocolate stir spoons made from Lindor chocolates?!! You brilliant brilliant mind. I can’t wait to make these this winter.
We did chocolate spoons last Christmas and the whole family loved them. It’s fun to make different flavors for different beverages.
The spoons are amazing! I bet they taste great too. I also love the mug…I collect them, and that one is super cute.
This idea is really amazing. I have never thought of creating such thing.
We bought our candy spoon mold last year and I have yet to use it! I think now i am going to have to get it out of storage and make one. Love your holiday coffee bar idea
Wow..this is amazing, I want it everyday. :) What a great idea!
