Coat surface with half of the melted chocolate and immediately sprinkle with topping. When chocolate has totally set, carefully flip over (it's okay if it falls apart a bit) and coat other side with the rest of the chocolate. Sprinkle on topping. Allow to set, then break into bite-size pieces. Store in an airtight container.
