2 Stovetop Method: Melt the Chocolate

To melt chocolate on the stovetop, place the chopped chocolate in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water. This method keeps the chocolate away from direct heat, which allows it to melt at a low enough temperature to prevent scorching and separating. As the chocolate begins to melt, stir it occasionally to ensure even melting.

TIP Don't have a double boiler? No worries. Simply set a heatproof bowl on top of a small saucepan. Fill the saucepan with 1/2 inch to 1 inch of water, making sure that the bowl doesn't actually touch the water. Also, make sure to not get any liquid in the chocolate itself or your chocolate will become hard and lumpy, AKA seizing.
