H2: Tips for Success Easter Chocolate Treats

• Use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips for smooth melting; lower heat if chocolate begins to seize.
• Stir frequently while microwaving and stop when a few streaks remain, stirring to finish melting.
• Work quickly when coating cereal so candies don’t melt into the chocolate.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer.
• For make-ahead parties, freeze on a sheet tray then transfer to a sealed container; thaw 10 minutes before serving.
• For inspiration on presentation and make-ahead treats, consider a layered dessert like a chocolate cake roll trifle for bigger gatherings.

• Extra mix-ins: fold in mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, or crushed pretzels.
