Ingredients

Servings
  • 1-4 cups chocolate chips any variety

Instructions

  1. Place chocolate chips in a completely clean, dry, microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir well (it will look like nothing has happened, stir anyway).
  3. Return chocolate chips to microwave and heat for 20-25 seconds, stirring well in between.
  4. Return chocolate chips to the microwave, heating in 15 second intervals and stirring very well in between until chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  5. Do not over-heat or chocolate will “seize” and become grainy/start to separate. If this happens you will need to start over.
