Tips:
1. Keep the dark chocolate in the pot after melting, otherwise it will solidify.
2. The dark chocolate used in the formula is Farrhona 62% dark chocolate. Some friends think it is bitter, so they can be replaced with milk chocolate, but I still prefer the rich taste of dark chocolate, which is bitter and sweet.
3. The baking time and temperature are for reference only.
