Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. A better chocolate will yield a better dip, so don't skimp on the quality of your ingredients.
- Don't overheat the chocolate. If you overheat the chocolate, it will seize up and become grainy. Heat it gently over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Add the cinnamon gradually. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can always add more cinnamon, but it's hard to take it out once it's in.
- Chill the dip before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken up.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers. Some good options include cookies, fruit, pretzels, and marshmallows.
