I know that you can melt chocolate the fancy way, but my favorite way is to use these Dove chocolates. I don’t know how I found out that they melt so easily, but at some point in time I discovered that they do and it’s changed the way I melt chocolate. Using a plastic or microwave-safe container and Dove chocolate, you can make the BEST melted chocolate ever! Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, whatever you prefer.
I got this bag in the candy aisle at Walmart for about $3.50. For this recipe, you will need the entire bag.
