I have posted about Chocolate Spoons and Chocolate Muddlers previously. Oh, but should it be so simple. Upon further research, I have found that there can be more than one size of a Chocolate Spoon in a pattern. To complicate matters, they just don't have "Large" Chocolate spoons and "Small" Chocolate spoons. Some patterns have "Large" and "Small", some have "Long" and "Small", some have "Large" and "Long", or any combination of the above. (And some just have one size.) Of course don't forget the "Muddler" which is found in most of the older patterns. To bring clarity to this or maybe muddle the subject even more, here are some examples of the different Chocolate pieces in several patterns.
Lancaster by Gorham
Chocolate spoon (4 1/8 inches)
Long Chocolate spoon (4 3/4 inches)
Muddler (8 1/4 inches)
Violet by Watson
Large Chocolate spoon (4 1/8 inches)
Bridal Rose by Alvin

I love that the difference between the chocolate spoon and the LONG chocolate spoon is 1/2 inch in the lancaster pattern! :)
