Instructions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper. Have the toppings chopped and ready to go. Set aside.

Step 2

Place two-thirds of the bag of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 15-30 second increments, stirring each time, until chips are completely melted. This will take about 2 minutes total, but watch carefully the last 45 seconds. (If using thermometer to take temperature it should read 110-115ºF / 43-48ºC)

Step 3

Add the remaining one-third of the bag of chocolate and stir to combine and melt. Continue to stir until all the chocolate is melted, smooth, and glossy. Don't be tempted to put it back in the microwave to finish melting added chips. Let it sit a minute and stir again. It will eventually melt from the residual heat. (If using thermometer to take temperature it should read 88-90ºF / 31-33ºC)

Step 4

Pour the melted chocolate on prepared baking sheet. Use an offset spatula to spread chocolate in an even layer, to about 1/4" thick. Immediately sprinkle on desired toppings.

Step 5

Allow chocolate to set and harden on counter. Do not break into pieces until chocolate is completely set, about 2-3 hours.
