The Key to Silky Snappy Chocolate

By stancec44

Preparation

Step 1

To get a snappy chocolate shell on your giant candy bars, just gently melt chocolate until it’s just smooth over simmering water, then stir in oil to ensure it sets properly. Stir the mixture until it’s silky, but don’t over-stir or it’ll end up streaky or dull. Use a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water instead of microwaving since it guarantees more even melting. Just be sure to wipe any condensation on the bottom of the bowl before you start to pour the melted chocolate. Water drops will mar an otherwise flawless shell. And now, on to the oversized candy!
