Tips

• When melting your semisweet chocolate chips, be sure to you use a double boiler; otherwise, the chocolate will likely burn.
• I added a few of the semisweet chocolate chips on top of the butter for an elegant presentation. You can also dust the chocolate butter with confectioner’s sugar. I wrote a post on the top Chocolate Quotes You’ll Love. Refer to this post for ideas on writing a personalized card on the tray.
• You can add a touch of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
• If you use dark chocolate melted chocolate chips, you may have to add granulated sugar to the recipe.
• Try mixing the ingredients with nut butter instead of regular butter for a healthy twist.
• Use organic chocolate for a healthier version.
