    Toppings in bowls
  • Melt in 30 second intervals, on full power, until melted (mine usually takes 1 1/2-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds).
  • If there are a few small chunks left, just stir the chocolate. Do not microwave again.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes before dropping/pouring into coins.
  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper.

  • Chill/harden for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until set (I do this by putting the baking sheet in the refrigerator. You can let them set at room temperature, it will just take longer). Feel free to put them in the fridge to speed up this process.

Notes

Depending on if you use chunks of a chocolate bar or chocolate chips, microwave times will vary.
If you'd like to make the coins softer add 1 teaspoon coconut oil with the chocolate when you're microwaving it. If you add the coconut oil, the chill/set time will increase a little.
Alternative topping options:
  • candied pecans
  • walnuts
  • dried cherries or cranberries
  • white chocolate
  • peppermint
