Ingredients

  • Desired amount of ice cold quality gourmet root beer (I use Virgil's)
  • Desired amount and flavors of ice cream, see suggestions in post above
  • Desired amount of mason jars
  • Good quality dark chocolate chips 12oz covers about 8-10 mason jars
  • sea salt

Instructions

  • Melt chocolate according to package instructions.
  • When melted stir and tilt bowl so chocolate goes to one side.
  • Swirl the top of the mason jar in chocolate, use your finger to smooth chocolate around the rim.
  • Before chocolate begins to firm up, sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Allow to sit for a few minutes, so the chocolate just begins to harden.
  • Scoop ice cream into jar, pour root beer over and serve!

Notes

You can use milk or white chocolate too!
