The heat from the hot chocolate transfers to the spoon, so the spoon heats up.

When a spoon is placed in hot water, the heat energy from the water is transferred to the spoon through conduction. The heat causes the particles in the spoon to move faster, increasing its temperature.
If the liquid is hot,the spoon get heated because steel is an insulator
The heat will transfer to the spoon (if metal).
The term for why the spoon is hot is "thermal conductivity." This means that the metal spoon quickly absorbs heat from the hot soup, making it feel hot to the touch.
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.

That is through 'conduction'
yea
The spoon sticking out of a cup of hot water also gets hot because heat is transferred from the water to the metal spoon through conduction. The metal material of the spoon allows heat to flow easily, causing the temperature of the spoon to increase as it comes into contact with the hot water.
No, evaporation is the process of liquid turning into vapor due to heat. When a cold spoon is stuck into something hot, heat will transfer from the hot substance to the cold spoon through conduction, causing the spoon to warm up.
