# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks fancy enough to impress guests but takes barely 15 minutes of actual work.
  • The sweet and salty balance hits that craving that neither chocolate alone nor chips alone can satisfy.
  • You can make it ahead and stash it in a container, which means stress-free entertaining.
02 -
  • Chocolate seizes when even a tiny drop of water gets into it, turning it grainy and impossible to smooth—keep your bowl and utensils completely dry.
  • The flaky salt is non-negotiable; regular table salt dissolves into the chocolate and you lose that textural crunch that makes people ask for the recipe.
03 -
  • If your chocolate starts to set before you finish coating all the chips, gently reheat it for 10 seconds instead of starting over—rushing usually means uneven coverage.
  • The moment between when the chocolate is set enough to hold the salt but still warm enough for it to stick is brief, so have your salt ready before you pour the chocolate.
