   4) To melt the chocolate place it in a glass microwave safe bowl (preferably one that is easy to pour out of). Microwave on between 10% and 20% power for 30 seconds at a time. Give the chocolate a stir between each run in the microwave. Heat just enough to where it melts when stirred not in the microwave. This will allow the chocolate to melt but not burn.
