Notes
MELTING CHOCOLATE:
- use a microwave safe plastic bowl, as plastic won't continue to heat up. Glass retains heat and will continue to heat the chocolate, causing the chocolate to overheat.
- when melting chocolate in the microwave, make sure you stir the chocolate vigorously. It may look like it hasn't melted, but if stirred for 10-20 seconds, the chocolate can become smooth. After the initial 1 minute, it may need a couple of 10 second burst to fully melt.
