Notes
Melting chocolate Tips
Melting chocolate can be a little tricky so it's important to use higher quality chocolate especially when it comes to white chocolate.
I bought a white chocolate bar that was made for baking and melting.
When it comes to chocolate I find it to be easier to melt and used a good brand chocolate chip.
I placed them separately in microwave-safe bowls and only heated for 30 seconds at a time and mixed. It only took about 1 minute each to be completely melted and smooth.
If you want to skip the microwave you could melt each separately in a double boiler instead.
