Directions

Step 2
Pour melted chocolate into espresso cups or other small-sized cups. Wipe steam off the bottom of the pan to prevent it from dripping into the cups as you pour.

Cook's Notes:

Don't use the cheap milk chocolate that's made of corn syrup and yucky things that makes it taste like wax. I've tried a few brands and I find that Dairy Milk milk chocolate works really well and tastes great.

Never add cold milk when melting chocolate - it will make it lump up and do strange things.
