Ingredients

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe dish or glass measuring cup with a handle, heat 1 cup of white chocolate chips on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Continue to heat in 15-second intervals or until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  • Immediately pour the melted chocolate onto a piece of parchment paper. Spread the chocolate into a very thin layer. Very thin.
  • Place another piece of parchment on top of the chocolate and press down to release any air bubbles.
  • Carefully roll up the parchment into a one-inch roll, or as close as you can get to that. Place the roll in the freezer for at least an hour or the refrigerator for several hours.
  • Once the chocolate is firm, unroll the parchment paper. You can leave the shards in long strips or break them up into random pieces, like I’ve done here.
