Tips

*To melt chocolate, place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on medium power (50%) for 2 minutes, stirring until smooth. To re-melt, place in microwave and cook on medium power for 20 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Do not melt white chocolate on high (100% power). Recipe tested in an 800 watt microwave oven.
