General Tips
Baking bars should be stored in a cool place, wrapped airtight.
Break or cut chocolate into small (1/2-inch) pieces for even melting. Stir gently and frequently while melting.
When melting chocolate, do not apply too much heat. Chocolate burns easily. It's best to melt chocolate slowly. See
tips for melting chocolate
.
Be certain that your work surface, pans, and tools are absolutely dry before melting chocolate.
