๐ฅ Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the melting chocolate for a smoother, thinner consistency that coats the cookies evenly without thickening prematurely during dipping.
โ๏ธ Work quickly when sprinkling crushed candy canes while the chocolate is still melted, as it helps them adhere better for a secure, crunchy topping that won’t fall off.
๐ For variety, dip half the cookies in white chocolate and half in semisweet, then drizzle the other type over top for a marbled holiday look that’s visually appealing and fun to eat.
