For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips. Add a pinch of sea salt to the melted chocolate for a delightful sweet and salty contrast. If you don't have a double boiler, a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water works just as well. Store the finished chocolate turtles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness.
