Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1 cup of chocolate chips and unsalted butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
