• It is important that the icing sugar is sieved or lumps will form in the mixture.
• The chocolate should be chopped quite roughly with some small, some larger pieces.
• Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of boiling water to prevent the chocolate from burning.
• Do not heat the chocolate too much or it will burn.
• Be careful when melting the chocolate over the boiling water, as the steam may burn you when removing the bowl.
