Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
To make the chocolate coating, start by combining the cocoa powder, vegetable oil, powdered sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they are fully combined and the mixture is smooth. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a few drops of vegetable oil to thin it out.
Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, add the vanilla extract and stir it in. The vanilla will give the chocolate a nice flavor and will help to deepen the color. Once the vanilla is fully incorporated, the chocolate coating is ready to be used.
To use the chocolate coating, simply dip whatever you’re coating into the chocolate. If you’re coating truffles or cake pops, you can use a spoon to coat them evenly. If you’re coating strawberries, you can use a fork to hold them and dip them in the chocolate. Once your treats are coated, you can place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them cool in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving.
