Are you planning to make chocolate fondue or a chocolate dipping sauce for strawberries? If yes, then you’ll want to know how to thin melted chocolate. Read the following article to find out how…
Chocolate is a perfect food, as wholesome as it is delicious, a beneficent restorer of exhausted power. It is the best friend of those engaged in literary pursuits.
~ Baron Justus von Liebig
Chocolate-covered strawberries… or marshmallows… or pretzels… or bananas… or green apples… or biscotti; simply divine. You can make so many treats just by dipping fruits, candies, and nuts in dissolved chocolate. Of course, eating a bar of chocolate on its own is magical, but there are many more treats and snacks which can be made after melting it into a dipping sauce. The actual preparation time isn’t that long and you can be in and out of your kitchen in no time. All you have to do is keep certain steps in mind and try to follow them as accurately as possible.
Before you learn how the entire process is carried out, you need to melt the chocolate first. This is where a lot of people make errors. Placing grated or cubes of chocolate in a non-stick pan and melting it is in fact is a mistake because you can keep the heat on various settings and that can burn the chocolate, if not paid attention. Instead use the double boiler method. To find more about the correct method and learn how to thin it further, keep reading the article.
To prepare some delicious, chocolaty treats, take a baking sheet and place parchment paper over it. Start dipping pretzels, strawberries, candies, and even pieces of (or whole) bananas in the melted mix. Place them on the parchment paper and let the chocolate harden. And that my friends, is how a chocolate bar can be melted the right way. Remember, to melt chocolate, DO NOT use microwave or place it in a pan over direct heat. It will only burn and/or alter the sweet and delicious taste of the chocolate.
If there is any leftover mix, you can store it in the refrigerator for a day or two. Don’t empty it in another container. Keep it in the glass bowl and cover the bowl with Saran wrap. To reuse it (although, if you can use the whole batch it would be excellent), just place the glass bowl in the refrigerator. Once the treats are made, serve them to family and friends; it wouldn’t be a bad idea to treat yourself to few of them too.
