Ingredients
- 200 grams Candied ginger
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Chop the candied ginger into bite-sized pieces, if not already prepped to your desired size.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. If using the microwave, melt in 20-30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each until smooth.
Step 4
Optional: Stir in coconut oil into the melted chocolate for a shinier finish and smoother dipping consistency.
Step 5
Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each piece of candied ginger into the melted chocolate, coating it about 3/4 of the way. Gently tap off any excess chocolate and place the dipped ginger onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Optional: Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-dipped portion before it sets, for a sweet-salty flavor contrast.
Step 7
Repeat the dipping process with all the candied ginger pieces.
Step 8
Allow the chocolate to set completely. You can speed up this process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 9
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the chocolate-dipped ginger to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.
Step 10
Serve as a snack, dessert, or packaged as a gift! Enjoy!
