Ingredients
- 200 grams high-quality dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Chop the dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
Step 2
Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water to avoid overheating the chocolate.
Step 3
Add the chopped chocolate and coconut oil to the bowl, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Step 4
If using sea salt and/or vanilla extract, stir them in during the last few seconds of melting for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 5
Remove the bowl from the heat and allow the chocolate coating to cool slightly for about 2-3 minutes. This ensures it's at the perfect dipping temperature (not too hot to damage delicate ingredients).
Step 6
Dip your desired items (e.g., strawberries, pretzels, or marshmallows) into the chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated items on a parchment-lined tray.
Step 7
Let the chocolate-dipped items set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster hardening (about 15-20 minutes).
Step 8
Serve immediately or store the coated treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
