How to Melt Chocolate
Chocolate is a highly temperamental medium to work with. Many people have tried melting it in the microwave or over direct heat in a pot on the stove top. Both of these will lead to problems. The microwave will lead to having to re-melt the chocolate over and over, causing, after a time, for it to burn. The stove top will keep it melted longer, but burn it faster.
There is a way however to melt the chocolate on the stove to and keep it there without burning it. By using a double boiler direct heat is avoided and allows for the chocolate to stay on the stove top for a much longer period of time without burning it.
Once the chocolate is melted it can be used for multiple purposes. Examples of how it can be used include dipping strawberries in it, dipping pretzels, putting into a squeeze bottle and then drizzling the chocolate over a desert item, and using in a chocolate fountain.
