How to Melt Chocolate

Step 1

Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave at 30 second intervals.

Step 2

Stir chocolate in between each 30 seconds so all of the chips are just about melted.

Step 3

Continue to stir until the last remaining pieces have melted.

Step 4

Place a pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil, reduce to a low simmer.

Step 5

Place chocolate in a metal bowl that will fit over the top of the pot of water snugly.

Step 6

Place the bowl with chocolate on top of the simmering water, stirring very often until melted.
