Notes
Other ways to melt chocolate/white chocolate:
- pot method: heat the chocolate on low heat in a pot while stirring continuously. Remove promptly from heat once chocolate is melted.
- double moiler method: place 1 to 2 inches of water in a small pot and place a bowl that can withstand heat in the pot (water should not go into the bowl). Heat pot, place chocolate in the bowl and keep stirring until chocolate is completely melted.
