How to Melt Chocolate Chip Wafers

Melted chocolate wafers are great for coating strawberries.

Melted chocolate is perfect for dipping fruit or for drizzling over desserts. Chocolate chip wafers come in a variety of flavors including mint, cherry, vanilla as well as milk, dark and white chocolates. You can melt chocolate chip wafers in a double boiler on the stove.

Things You'll Need

• Glass bowl
• Saucepan
• Chocolate chip wafers
• Spoon

Instructions

1. 

   Make your own double boiler with a saucepan and a thick glass bowl.

   Make a double boiler. Find a thick glass bowl that you can set in the top rim of a saucepan without it falling into the pan. Fill a saucepan halfway full of water. Set your glass bowl on top of your saucepan to make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Pour water out of the saucepan if needed.

2. 

   Set the burner to medium-low heat.

   Set your double boiler on the stove on medium-low heat. Bring the water to simmering. Pour your chocolate chip wafers into the glass bowl.

3. 

   Stir the chocolate as it melts.

   Allow the chocolate chip wafers to melt. Stir the chocolate with a spoon as it melts. Temper chocolate so it will harden by adding more chocolate chip wafers to the melting chocolate. Tempering is tricky so have extra chocolate on hand.

4. Remove your chocolate from the heat when all or most of the chocolate is melted. Do not let your chocolate burn or it will not taste good. Burning chocolate is dull and clumpy.

Tips & Warnings

• If you can't find chocolate wafers, use chocolate morsels instead.

• Use melted chocolate to make chocolate covered strawberries.

• Melted chocolate is hot and can burn you.
