How to melt chocolate (2 ways)

How to melt chocolate in microwave

1. Place the chocolate chips (or chocolate bar cut in pieces) in a microwave safe bowl.
2. Then add about a teaspoon of water or non dairy milk of your choice (almond milk, coconut milk...).
3. Then cook in the microwave oven for 30 seconds to 1 minute (depending on how powerful you microwave is). Whisk the chocolate with a spoon and voilà!

How to melt chocolate on stove

1. Fill a pan halfway with water. Heat the pan of water until it's simmering.
2. Place the chocolate chips (or chocolate bar cut in pieces) in a heat proof bowl. This bowl needs to be smaller than the pan.
3. Then place this bowl in the pan of water.
4. Let the bowl of chocolate sit over the pan of barely simmering water and allow the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally.

This method is called a bain marie.
