i took a 6 month break from cooking/baking and i forgot that chocolate is sensitive to heat. put it in the microwave in 40 second intervals and it seized. i didnt even realize what the heck happened because i never burned chocolate before. this is definitely a low point in my cooking life

One tip, not all ovens and chocolates are made evenly so sometimes the microwavr method won't need a 15 seconds interval, sometimes it was less and that was definitely my case

[@tyronegordon3376]

My entire apartment was filled with smoke due to trusting that 30 seconds in the microwave🤣🤣🤣

I tried making peanut butter truffles and did literally everything wrong
I used hershey milk chocolate
I used hot boiling water
I added water to try and make it more "saucy"

[@IAMGiftbearer]

My melted chocolate never gets that runny. I'm in the process of making peanut butter cups now and I think I'll add some coconut oil to the second half of the chocolate that I put over the peanut butter before reheating what's left in my jar and see if that will work better. I'm using Nestles Semi-sweet chocolate chips.

[@jennygallegos226]

Did it taste like coconut?

[@saunga1]

Is there anything you would suggest for melting white chocolate? should white chocolate also have 32% cocoa butter? I want to make chocolate dipped pretzels but I'm more partial to the white chocolate than dark chocolate.

When I melt semi sweet with coconut oil, it never hardens unless I put it in the fridge. Any tips for that?

Can you use crisco instead of coconut oil? If so how much should I use?

Crockpot……. What a great idea! Thank you.

I just needed to watch this because that’s what I really fumbled on when making a yoghurt patty. The melted chocolate was too thick.

At 2:33 Microwave method you use 3-5 level power for melting chocolate for who is wondering.
