Notes
How to melt the chocolate?
Half-fill a small saucepan with boiling water, and break the chocolate into pieces in a heat-safe glass bowl. Place the bowl on top of the saucepan so it touches the water, be careful not to overfill the saucepan with water. Leave the chocolate for 5 minutes and then stir until melted; add the coconut oil before the chocolate is melted.
Can I melt the chocolate in the microwave?
Yes, you can. In a microwave-safe bowl, break the chocolate into pieces and microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between each 20-second cooking time.
