# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours on it when you honestly spent maybe fifteen minutes total.
  • The contrast between melting chocolate and shattering chips is honestly addictive.
  • People genuinely think you've made something fancy, but it's ridiculously simple.
02 -
  • Don't rush the melting process—burnt chocolate tastes bitter and ruins the whole thing, so low and slow always wins.
  • The chocolate needs to be warm enough when you add the salt so it sticks; if it's already cooling, the salt will just slide off.
03 -
  • Use a chocolate thermometer if you're serious about tempering; ideally you want melted chocolate around 45°C (113°F) for the best snap and shine.
  • A bench scraper works better than a spatula for spreading chocolate evenly without dragging the chips around.
