# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks fancy enough to impress at a party but takes less time than brewing coffee.
  • That clash between sweet chocolate and salty chips becomes addictive once you taste it.
  • You can make it with ingredients already sitting in your pantry right now.
02 -
  • The chocolate will crack slightly as it cools, and that's exactly what you want—those thin lines are where the magic happens.
  • Don't use chips that are already heavily flavored or over-salted unless you want that to dominate; plain salted ones let the chocolate breathe.
03 -
  • Never let chocolate in a double boiler touch the water below, or it'll seize and become grainy—even one droplet changes everything.
  • Taste your potato chips before you start; if they're stale, the whole thing suffers, so open a fresh bag if you're unsure.
