 Melting Chocolate Bars Hi .... I’d like to melt and combine two chocolate bars (Dagoba Prima Materia and Dagoba Eclipse - maybe one or two others). What's the best way to melt these - microwave, over low heat, in a double boiler? Also, once melted and cooled, will the texture of the bars change in any way? Thanks, Shel Last edited by shel; 03-04-2008 at 07:36 PM.  |

| Assuming these are bars of plain dark chocolate that have a snappy gloss... I suggest using a double boiler and you will need to re-temper the chocolate by heating it to 40 degrees C, cool it to 28 then back up to 32. How to you plan to reform it into edible form?

| IThese are "regular" chocolate bars, at least as far as I can tell. I don't know what you mean by a "snappy gloss." I'bve not figured out the best way to reform the the chocolate yet - am looking about for some sort ofmold or form. Thought I'd pour the melted chocolate on tosome parchment paper in a shallow dish or bowl. shel |
