Chocolate covered bars

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup milk chocolate chips

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother coating)

1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet if you prefer)

Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make it easier to remove the bars later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the cocoa powder, sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm.

Once the chocolate mixture is firm, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into bars of your desired size and shape. Place the bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. You can use a fork to lift the bars out of the chocolate and let the excess drip off.
Place the coated bars back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Allow the chocolate coating to set by placing the bars in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.

Once the chocolate coating is set, your chocolate-covered chocolate bars are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
