What it is
These are rich, dark chocolate pieces infused with flakes of sea salt. They are designed to melt smoothly, making them ideal for baking and confectionery.

Each piece offers a satisfying texture and a complex flavor profile that appeals to chocolate lovers.
How people cook with it
These melts are a versatile ingredient for both sweet and savory applications. They can be used to enhance baked goods or as a finishing touch on desserts.
- Drizzled over cookies
- Melted into brownies
- Coating for pretzels
- Garnish for cakes
To melt, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir gently until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in short intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Once melted, they can be drizzled, dipped, or incorporated into batters and doughs. The sea salt provides a delightful contrast to the sweetness of other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard chocolate chips, these melts are formulated for superior melting and a smoother finish. The inclusion of sea salt is a distinct feature, offering a flavor dimension not found in plain dark chocolate. This makes them particularly well-suited for applications where a pronounced chocolate flavor with a hint of salt is desired.
Who it is for
Home bakers and confectioners who enjoy creating homemade treats will find these melts useful.
How to keep the rest
Store any remaining melts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure the container is airtight to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. Properly stored, they will retain their quality for future use.
