If you wish to bake it in advance you can line a cookie sheet with parchment and bake a thin layer at 350F for 5 minutes (allow it to cool before using).
- This “dip” is on the harder side and it will get hard when kept in the fridge, you will want to bring it to room temperature prior to serving. If it is still too hard, you can microwave it on medium power for 30 seconds (too high and you will melt the chocolate chips) or spread with a knife.

- Feel free to experiment with add-ins like chopped nuts, mini-M&M’s, and toffee bits.
