Tips & Notes

• Make Ahead Tip: Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Tip: To melt chocolate, microwave on Medium for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving on Medium, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted. Or place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water. Stir until melted.
