A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

★Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate
Combine Ingredients* In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the chocolate chips, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Melt the Chocolate* Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes total.
- Mix and Serve
Stir to Combine* Once melted, stir the mixture until fully combined and creamy.
Serve* Enjoy it warm as a dip for fruits, pretzels, or cookies, or let it cool slightly and spoon it into small serving cups for a richer dessert experience.
Add Toppings* If desired, top with whipped cream, fresh berries, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of caramel sauce to enhance your dessert.
Tips for Success
Chocolate Options* Use milk chocolate for a sweeter dessert or dark chocolate for a more intense flavor.
Microwave Caution* Avoid overheating the chocolate, as it can seize up. Stirring frequently helps ensure even melting.
Make It Fancy* For an extra touch, add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before serving or use a piping bag to add whipped cream artfully.
