A genius hack for melting chocolate on sunny days is doing the rounds on TikTok and it's perfect for picnics with kids. 

With the summer holidays nearly upon us, a list of cheap activities to do with kids is essential for any parent, with outdoor games on the cards.

One of the latest tips to take the internet by storm is a simple melted chocolate hack, allowing children to enjoy treats like strawberries dipped in chocolate from the comfort of a picnic blanket.

In a video shared by TikTok user, Rosa Isabel, a chocolate bar is opened from its package and let to rest beneath the sun. After 5 to 10 minutes, the confectionary has been melted down into a deliciously sweet dip. The best part is, the gooey goodness doesn't even need to be transferred onto a plate, because it's already served on the bar's paper. To demonstrate just how effective the hack is, Isabel slides a strawberry onto the melted chocolate to create the perfect summertime treat.

"Omg genius!!" one person wrote, while another called the trick "perfect for beach day." 

The melted chocolate hack also garnered a handful of comical comments from viewers in hotter climates.
