Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate broken into small pieces
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup or maple syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Begin by breaking the 8 oz of semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces and placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be cautious not to overheat it, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
  2. Once the chocolate is melted, add the 14 oz of sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons of corn syrup or maple syrup, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt to the bowl. Stir the mixture together until smooth and well combined.
  3. Now, add 1/4 cup of milk to the chocolate mixture. Stir vigorously to blend everything together. If the dip is too thick for your liking, gradually add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Finally, stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This simple addition will elevate the flavor profile of your Easy Dipping Chocolate, making it even more delightful.
  5. Transfer your Easy Dipping Chocolate into a serving bowl. Serve it warm for the best dipping experience, and pair it with your favorite fruits, pretzels, or marshmallows. Enjoy every delicious bite!

Notes

  • Make ahead by storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
