Tip: Best heated with a microwave. But, if you got none, use a double-boiler on your stove. Just be careful not to burn it!

Steps:

2- In a bowl, microwave the chocolate for 1 min on high. Stir well.

3- Repeat step 2 until you get a golden tone. If the colour gets uneven, cut down the heating to 40s only.
