Aunt Inga was so excited to hear that someone needed her help!
She and Ole put together another video for your viewing pleasure, however the quality is pretty poor.
Sorry about how blurry it is!
Just in case clearer instruction is needed, here are some tips when melting chocolate in the microwave.
- You can use any type of chocolate you prefer, but keep a closer eye on white chocolate.
- You do not need to put it in a plastic bag, you can also melt it in a microwave safe dish.
- If melting in a plastic bag, begin with 30 second intervals. After 30 seconds has passed, remove the bag and gently massage the chocolate, trying to locate and disperse hot spots.
- If melting in a microwave safe dish, remove bowl at 30 second intervals. Stir thoroughly. If chocolate needs to melt more, remove spoon and heat in 15 second intervals until you reach a ‘mostly’ melted state. Remove bowl and stir until all lumps dissolve and chocolate is smooth.
- The benefit to melting chocolate directly in bag is that you can immediately begin piping it out.
If you have any more questions you’d like Aunt Inga to answer, just leave it in the comments. I will make sure Sven gets them!

Oh heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Aunt Inga! Heeeeeey! Waving at ya!
You’re so smart. I never thought about putting it directly in the piping bag. Duh.
When I melt chocolate for cake balls or other such projects it’s never melted enough. I end up with thick chocolatey goo all over instead of a smooth look. How can I get it thinner and more liquidy?
That just depends Kristen… what kind of chocolate are you using? Are you doing it in the microwave or on the oven? Are you melting it in a bag or in a bowl?
Hilaaaaaaaaarious!!!
I love Aunt Inga

You are probably too young to remember the Carol Burnett show but Aunt Inga would have been a perfect addition to the cast! I’m sure Aunt Inga will be joining your family for the holidays but if not…there’s lots of room for her at our house
My daughter has made me watch it three times!!
BEST. AUNT. EVER. That was hilarious! I’m literally running late to work right now because I couldn’t help myself from watching the entire thing again this morning
How great that you have an aunt who is such an expert! I wish I had one who could tutor me like that
I love cooking with family members, it’s so soulful.
Thanks Aunt Inga for the tips…and the giggles! Made my day! I <3 A.I.!
What a great practical idea to melt chocolate in bags! I always melted them in a dish and made a little mess transferring the chocolate to the bag! Thank you!!!!
You are crazy. Just plain crazy. xoxo
Aunt Inga is AWESOME!
She is so funny!
HAHA, I love Aunt Inga! She is too funny. I’m just not quite sure who Merle is?!
