Instructions

- After the bites have been in the freezer for about 20 to 30 minutes, melt your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, in 30 second increments, until chocolate is completely melted.
- Remove the bites from the freezer.
- Take a spoon and pour the chocolate one the tops of each sandwich bite, allowing the chocolate to run down the sides. You can coat the full bite with chocolate, but you'll need more chocolate chips if you want to do this.
- Place the bites back in freezer to harden up, for about 15 minutes.
- After the 15 minutes, the bites are ready to eat or you can transfer the bites into a freezer safe storage container.
