How to make your own chocolate-covered treat
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Your favorite treats! We used pretzels, marshmallows, and graham crackers.
Instructions:
1. Melt the chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
2. Dip your treats: Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Dip each treat into the chocolate, using a fork to coat evenly and lift it out. Gently tap any excess chocolate back into the bowl before placing on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all of your treats.
3. Let them set: Let the chocolate dipped treats sit at room temperature until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. You can also speed up this process by refrigerating for about 15 minutes. Once set, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks
