Notes
Tips for success:
- Check your chocolate. Most chocolates have a lengthy shelf life but check to make sure yours are still good before making the dip.
- Consider your candies. Because this recipe only has a few ingredients, they really matter. Higher quality chocolates will impart the best flavor - taking the dip from simply sweet to layered with notes of cocoa, spice or floral flavors.
