Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Candied ginger
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Chop the candied ginger into bite-sized pieces, if not already prepped to your desired size.
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. If using the microwave, melt in 20-30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each until smooth.
Optional: Stir in coconut oil into the melted chocolate for a shinier finish and smoother dipping consistency.
Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each piece of candied ginger into the melted chocolate, coating it about 3/4 of the way. Gently tap off any excess chocolate and place the dipped ginger onto the prepared baking sheet.
Optional: Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-dipped portion before it sets, for a sweet-salty flavor contrast.
Repeat the dipping process with all the candied ginger pieces.
Allow the chocolate to set completely. You can speed up this process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the chocolate-dipped ginger to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.
Serve as a snack, dessert, or packaged as a gift! Enjoy!
