Tips:

  • Use high-quality semisweet chocolate. This will ensure that your rounds have a rich, decadent flavor. You can also use bittersweet chocolate if you prefer a more intense flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the rounds. They should be baked until they are just set in the center, about 8-10 minutes. If you overcook them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the rounds cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly and prevent it from becoming smeared.
  • Be creative with your toppings. You can use chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, or even candy pieces to decorate your rounds. Get creative and have fun!
