To do this, fill a saucepan with 1\/2 to 3\/4 cup of water and bring it to a simmer. Then add the dark chocolate to a mixing bowl. Place this mixing bowl on the saucepan. Gently stir the chocolate until it&#8217;s melted. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 8\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Another option for the topping instead of coconut chips is rose petals and sea salt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction\" data-step=\"Step 9\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Adapted from the original recipe-  https:\/\/www.veganbell.com\/<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6480,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/myhealthylife.me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/6479"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/myhealthylife.me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/myhealthylife.me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myhealthylife.me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myhealthylife.me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6479"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myhealthylife.me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/myhealthylife.me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
