Chocolate Thins

Yana, babushkacooking.com
Cooling 3 hours
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3.5 oz 70% dark chocolate I use Lindt
  • Flaky sea salt

Toppings (optional, but highly recommended)

  • Orange zest and/or orange slices
  • Nuts or seeds of your choice
  • Raisins, dried cherries
  • Pretzels, granola
  • Shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano

Instructions
 

  • Melt chocolate in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring after each time. I recommend using a microwave safe container with a spout (such as a Pyrex cup), to make pouring the chocolate out easier.
    *Your microwave may have a setting to melt chocolate by using low heat. If not, the above mentioned method is a safe way to melt chocolate in the microwave.
  • While the chocolate is melting, prepare your silicone mats/parchment or wax paper. I place a silicone mat directly on the baking sheet for convenience. One baking sheet is sufficient for 1 chocolate bar. You may be able to fit in more, but you don’t want them too close.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, pour it out in small batches onto the mat, leaving  a couple of inches between them. The more you pour out, the bigger they will be.
  • Before the chocolate has a chance to cool and harden, sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt.
  • Add your toppings and let the cool for at least 2 hours in the fridge.
  • Gently lift the bottom of a mat (or paper) and separate from the bottom. Store at room temperature.
    *They will melt in contact with the heat, so be sure not to leave them near the stove or anything hot.
  • Enjoy!
