Chocolate melting tips:

Microwave 1 cup (6 oz) morsels at a time in a small microwave-safe bowl on high (100% power ) for 1 minute; stir.

Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

If your chocolate seizes or needs additional thinning for dipping, add 1 tbsp. of vegetable oil and blend well. If more oil is needed, add up to 1 tsp. to achieve desired results.
