Simple and Quick Chocolate Chips
Ingredients:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips if you prefer a sweeter flavor)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (to help with melting)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for added flavor)
Instructions:
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.
