Notes
Chocolate Notes*
Not all chocolate is great for melting due to differences in cocoa butter, sugar content, additives, and flavor variations.
High-quality chocolate with enough cocoa butter melts smoothly, while cheaper options may clump, crystallize, or have unwanted additives that affect texture and taste.
Additionally, some chocolates require tempering for specific applications, making not all chocolate suitable for every melting need.
I suggest using chocolate melting wafers NOT bagged chocolate chips to ensure your chocolate turns out silky smoooth.
