# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 15 minutes of actual work, making it perfect for unexpected guests or last-minute cravings.
  • The contrast between crispy, salty chips and smooth, rich chocolate feels indulgent but isn't pretentious or complicated.
  • You can make it with ingredients most people already have, and it looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did.
02 -
  • If your chocolate seizes and becomes grainy during melting, it's usually because water got into it, and there's no saving it, so start over. This learned this the hard way and now I'm obsessive about keeping my bowl completely dry.
  • The chocolate sets much faster in the refrigerator, but if you have time, letting it set at room temperature gives you a chocolate that snaps more satisfyingly when you break it.
03 -
  • Temper your expectations about the chocolate cooling evenly, because honestly, the imperfect spots often taste the best.
  • If you're making this for people with nut allergies, check your chocolate label carefully because some brands process in shared facilities, and it matters.
