Whether you’re using it to bake with or you’re making homemade candy, chocolate is not always easy to work with, but if you follow these simple tricks you’ll be melting chocolate with ease! White chocolate can be harder to work with than other types of chocolate as it heats quickly and can easily burn. When working with white chocolate, to avoid problems, melt it on a much lower heat over a double boiler. Then place a heatproof bowl that’s just big enough to rest on top of the pot. Add chopped chocolate or chocolate chips to the bowl. Stir over over low heat until silky smooth. Once the chocolate looks almost melted (a few lumps are ok), just stir the chocolate until it is completely smooth.
