# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes barely ten minutes of actual work but tastes like you fussed over it for hours.
  • That salt-sweet-crunch combination hijacks your brain in the best way—you'll reach for just one piece and somehow a handful disappears.
  • Ridiculously customizable depending on what chocolate or chips you have lurking around.
02 -
  • Cold chips against warm chocolate is what makes this work—never let the chips come to room temperature first or they'll soften and lose their snap.
  • Overmixing melted chocolate or heating it past about 45°C makes it grainy and unpleasant; low and slow is always the answer with chocolate.
03 -
  • Room-temperature chocolate will stay soft longer before fully setting—you'll have more time to adjust the salt or add toppings.
  • If you're worried about the chocolate seizing, add a tiny bit of coconut oil to the melting chocolate; it helps smooth everything out and prevents graininess.
