i took a 6 month break from cooking/baking and i forgot that chocolate is sensitive to heat. put it in the microwave in 40 second intervals and it seized. i didnt even realize what the heck happened because i never burned chocolate before. this is definitely a low point in my cooking life

It's 8pm and my 5th grader wants to make chocolate covered strawberries for her class.... for tomorrow. I don't have a double boiler but I'm so happy I saw your video. The glass bowl over a pot of water should work great. Thanks!

One tip, not all ovens and chocolates are made evenly so sometimes the microwavr method won't need a 15 seconds interval, sometimes it was less and that was definitely my case

[kakhcerKyank]

Thank you for the slow cooker tip, that's great!

[jameszwada]

Great instructional video. I learned so much. Love the humor you bring to each and every video.

Thanks for the tips. I like dark chocolate covered almonds with dry cranberries. 75% or greater since I'm a diabetic. No sugar or oils. Plus I like bitter chocolate.

Is there anything you would suggest for melting white chocolate? should white chocolate also have 32% cocoa butter? I want to make chocolate dipped pretzels but I'm more partial to the white chocolate than dark chocolate.
