Instructions
Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark and milk chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
Add flavor: Stir in vanilla extract to the melted chocolate for enhanced flavor.
Prepare molds: Lightly grease a coin-shaped mold or use a small, round cookie cutter on a parchment-lined tray.
Pour chocolate: Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the molds or create small circles on the parchment paper.
Cool and set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Wrap in foil: Once set, remove the chocolate coins from the molds and wrap each in gold foil.
Serve: Store in a cool place until ready to serve or gift.
