How to Make Nut Free Chocolate Spread
Here are the step by step instructions to make this chocolate spread!
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate and Wow Butter
Place the wow butter and chocolate chips in the same small microwave safe bowl.
Heat in 15 second increments, stirring after each time until completely melted and smooth.
Step 2: Serve
You can use the spread right away while it is liquidy or you can wait till it solidifies a bit.
Expert Baking Tips
- Melt Slowly- If you rush this process and try to even heat the chocolate and wow butter in 20 second increments (instead of 15 second increments), you can overheat the chocolate. If that happens it will seize up and basically not be usable.
- Reheat- It will become very hard and thick in the fridge. If you want it easier to spread, place in a heat safe bowl and microwave in 15 second increments until you get the desired consistency.
