Preparation
Chef’s notes
*CHOCOLATE – For the best results make sure to use 70% dark chocolate in the dough. This can be chips (Ghirardelli and Trader Joe’s both have great options), or bars (I used Lindt 70% dark chocolate). As for the white chocolate, do not use white chocolate chips. When melted, they turn very thick. Use white chocolate bars as these are made to be melted, unlike chips. I recommend Lindt white chocolate bars found with the 70% dark chocolate I mentioned here.
