Method
Add the dark and milk chocolate into the heatproof bowl and place it on top of a bowl of simmering water. Do not stir the chocolate but keep an eye on it and when it is melted remove it from the heat and stir in the spices.
While the chocolate is melting grease six small yoghurt pots by placing a little sunflower oil on some paper towel, or with a pastry brush.
Push each cinnamon stick through the centre of six paper bun cases.
Pour the melted chocolate into the pots. Place the stick into each pot and use the paper case to help it stay in position. Allow to cool completely in the fridge.
Remove the pots off the chocolate once they have cooled, you can cut them open with some scissors. Discard the paper cases.
Package the chocolate stirrers as festive as you wish. To make the spiced hot chocolate simply stir them into a cup of hot milk until melted.
