How to Melt Chocolate
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 have passed, remove the bag and gently massage the chocolate, trying to locate and disperse hot spots.
- If melting in a microwave-safe dish, remove the bowl at 30-second intervals. Stir thoroughly. If the chocolate needs to melt more, remove the 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 a bag is that you can immediately begin piping it out.
Thank Aunt Inga is one smart lady! No wonder she’s so popular. 🙂

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 🙂
