Note: To melt chocolate in a microwave oven, place chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl and place the bowl in the microwave oven for 2 1/2 minutes at 50% power. The chocolate might not appear to be melted, but check by stirring with a rubber spatula. If after stirring, there are un-melted bits remaining, microwave it again at 50% power for 5 to 10 second intervals, stirring after each interval.
