How to Temper Chocolate
1.    Finely chop a semisweet or bittersweet chocolate bar. Don’t use chips, which often contain additives that prevent them from melting slowly.
2.    In a glass or ceramic bowl, microwave 3-quaters of the chocolate at 50% power in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s just melted.
3.    To cool, add in the rest of the chopped chocolate and stir until smooth. Now you’re ready to dip!
