Simple and quick chocolate chips – Page 2

1. Melt the Chocolate:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or vegetable oil).
Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth.

2. Optional: Add Vanilla Extract:

If you want to enhance the flavor, stir in the vanilla extract once the chocolate is melted.

3. Use the Chocolate:

For Dipping: Dip fruits, cookies, or pretzels into the melted chocolate for a quick treat.
For Coating: Pour the melted chocolate over popcorn, pretzels, or other snacks and let it cool for a quick chocolate-covered snack.
For Baking: Use the melted chocolate as a topping or drizzle on your favorite cookies or cakes.

4. Let It Set:

If you’ve made chocolate-covered snacks or treats, let them cool at room temperature or in the fridge for 15-30 minutes, until the chocolate hardens.

5. Store:

Any leftover melted chocolate can be poured into molds, or simply cooled into a solid form and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:

If you don’t have coconut oil, vegetable oil or even butter will work fine to melt the chocolate, but coconut oil gives a nice smooth finish.
You can also use this as a quick way to make chocolate bark by adding nuts, dried fruits, or other candies on top of the melted chocolate and letting it set.
