Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable shortening)
Directions
Step 1
Place the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Set up a double boiler by filling a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Place the bowl of chocolate and coconut oil on top of the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the simmering water.
Step 4
Stir the chocolate continuously with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until completely melted and smooth. Be patient—this step helps prevent the chocolate from burning or seizing.
Step 5
Once fully melted and glossy, remove the bowl from the heat.
Step 6
Allow the chocolate to cool slightly for 2–3 minutes to ensure it is not too hot for dipping.
Step 7
Start dipping your chosen treats (e.g., strawberries, pretzels, marshmallows) into the chocolate. Use a fork or skewer for easier handling.
Step 8
Place the dipped items on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results.
Step 9
If the chocolate starts to thicken while dipping, return it to the double boiler for a few seconds to re-melt.
