Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips or more if needed, any type: dark, milk, semi-sweet etc...
Instructions
To melt chocolate chips in a microwave
- Add your desired amount of chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl.
- Set the microwave to high and heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. TIP: This helps ensure even melting and prevents scorching.
- Repeat the process until the chocolate becomes smooth and fully melted.
- Adjust the time according to your microwave's power, as they vary.
To melt chocolate on the stove top
- Set up a double boiler by filling a saucepan with 1-2-inches of water and heating it over medium-low heat until it simmers.
- Place a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring it fits snugly without touching the water (this is important so the chocolate doesn't seize).
- Add the chocolate chips to the bowl and stir gently until they melt completely.
Notes
- Moisture can cause chocolate to seize, so make sure all utensils, bowls, and surfaces are completely clean and dry before melting the chocolate chips. Even a small amount of moisture can cause the chocolate to become lumpy and unworkable.
- Patience and gentle heat are key to achieving smooth and silky melted chocolate.
