Notes
You can purchase 6½ inch cast iron skillets at Walmart, Target, Amazon or directly at the Lodge Cast Iron website.
I purchased a 3 ounce dark chocolate bar with sea salt at our local Giant Eagle grocery store. You can use any brand of chocolate, just break it into chunks and use about ⅓ of the bar.
