Notes

Ways to Melt Chocolate:
  • Pour your chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in the microwave about 20-30 second intervals. Take time to stir in between each interval, until it's melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
  • Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate on the stovetop. Fill the bottom pot with water and bring to a low boil; then place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl, and melt, stirring frequently.
  • Melt in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.
