Chocolate is one of the best
favored ingredients in baking.
Just a few tips noting before we begin.
1)Chocolate has a very low
melting point. It must not be subjected to excessive heat, such as baking
temperatures in an oven.
2)Always melt chocolate over very low heat it has a very low melting point - do
not boil the water in the double boiler.
3)Moisture is the enemy of melting chocolate - it can cause the mixture to
stiffen. Don't let any water get into the chocolate (that's why you shouldn't
cover the double boiler; condensation will drip in).
