• Additional powdered sugar for coating

Directions

1. Place the dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir until the chocolate and butter have melted and are well combined.
