Assuming you have a cup of hot cocoa, then the heat transfer is by conduction
Why does a metal spoon handle gets hot in soup but a plastic spoon handle does not?
Because metals conduct heat really well. Plastics conduct only a little heat with difficulty.
Can a cold spoon transfer heat?
No. Heat can only be transferred to a cold spoon, not the other way round (as there is no heat in a cold spoon to transfer). A simple example is when a cold teaspoon is used to stir a hot cup of tea. When the spoon is withdrawn, it is hot.

I believe as the tea is in contact with the spoon, the molecules in the spoon start moving around as they are heating up, causing the spoon to become hot.

Metal is a good conductor of heat. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat. On a hot day the plastic spoon may stop you scalding your mouth if it is left out in the sun.

What are kind of plastic are plastic spoons made out of?
The plastic used to make a plastic spoon is usually a thermoplastic called polypropylene. A plastic spoon would be made in the process called injection molding, where thermoplastic resin is injected into a metal die, containing a cavity in the shape of a spoon. Thermoplastics are a type of plastic where they can be formed using heat to soften and melt them. Polypropylene would be specifically chosen for a spoon because it has the properties of higher heat tolerance, meaning the spoon could be used to stir a hot cup of coffee without problems. Usually food grade PP is used for spoon. Besides PP, PS is also used. IF any interest in buying plastic spoon moulds, pls contact sinomould-13@hotmai.com
