*If you want to make homemade dairy free chocolate chips using this dairy free chocolate, make chocolate as directed, then put into a piping bottle or sealable bag with a tiny hole cut out. Then, pipe out little dabs of chocolate in the same size as normal chocolate chips. One recipe will make ~3oz of chocolate chips. Use immediately or store in refrigerator until ready to use.

*If you want to make homemade dairy free chocolate bars, triple the recipe and then pour onto a small 9x7 baking sheet. Freeze. Then cut bars into desired size carefully. Store in refrigerator.
