Issues with Melting the Chocolate?

  • Try adding in coconut oil. It creates a smoother, move even melt.
  • Stir in between heating increments in the microwave, spreading the melted bits and coconut oil around.
  • Or, try adding in a little peanut butter—a few teaspoons will do. It’s a great alternative for helping to melt the chocolate smoothly.
