  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, or it will seize up and become unusable.
  • If the chocolate is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or oil to thin it out.
  • Be sure to let the chocolate clusters cool completely before eating them, or they will be too soft and gooey.
  • You can store the chocolate clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
