Notes
*How To Melt Chocolate or Candy Melts:
Double Boiler Method: Place chocolate or candy melts in heat-safe glass bowls. Set one bowl over a double boiler and melt the chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth.
Microwave Method: Place the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Air Fryer Method: Use the REHEAT setting on your air fryer. Stir the chocolate every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
DIY Double Boiler: Fill a saucepan with an inch or two of water and bring it to a gentle boil. Place a glass or metal bowl over the saucepan, ensuring it doesn't touch the water. Add the chocolate to the bowl and whisk until smooth and melted.
- Melt the chocolate slowly to prevent burning.
- Stir constantly for even melting.
- Work in small batches to keep chocolate at the right consistency.
