Notes
- To Melt Chocolate
- Double Boiler: If you don’t have a double boiler, place a glass bowl in a pot with water. Ensure the water is not touching the bowl and allow the water to simmer. The steam will heat the bowl melting the chocolate perfectly).
- Microwave: Place chocolate in a microwaveable bowl with vegetable oil. Melt on 60% power stirring every 20-30 seconds. Remove when chips are almost, but not entirely melted, and stir until lumps disappear.
