# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than most people spend scrolling on their phone, yet looks like you've been planning it all week.
  • The sweet-salty combination hits differently every single time you reach for another piece.
  • You probably already have everything hiding in your kitchen right now.
02 -
  • If your chocolate is too thick when you pour it, you'll end up with bare patches of chips showing through—let it cool just slightly, but not so long that it starts to harden in the bowl.
  • The chips soften a tiny bit when the chocolate is warm, and that's actually perfect; they're not supposed to stay crackling through the whole thing, and that softness is where the real magic happens.
03 -
  • Use chocolate you actually like eating, because the quality matters when there's nothing else to hide behind.
  • Don't overthink the chocolate-to-chip ratio; trust your eyes and pour until it looks generous but not drowning.
