TIPS AND TWEAKS

To make this recipe vegan use vegan chocolate for the coating.

Melting the chocolate:
An alternative to the double boiler method of melting chocolate is to melt it in the microwave. Simply place chopped chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and put in microwave in short 20‒30 second bursts. Remove and stir after each burst to ensure that it does not overcook.
