How do I melt the chocolate chips for this glaze?

You can melt the dairy-free chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, then set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.

What kind of vegan butter substitute should I use?

The recipe suggests a whipped buttery spread like Earth Balance Organic Whipped Buttery Spread, but any good quality vegan butter substitute should work for creaming.

Will this chocolate glaze harden after I spoon it over desserts?

Yes, the recipe specifically states that when the glaze cools, it will harden, providing a firm coating for your treats.

Can I skip the sea salt in this recipe?

While not strictly necessary for texture, the small amount of sea salt helps to balance the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor in the glaze.

How should I store leftover chocolate glaze?

Since the glaze hardens when cooled, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. You may need to gently rewarm it to spoon over desserts again.
