Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. A higher cocoa content will result in a richer and more intense chocolate flavor.
• If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave. Just heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, to prevent it from burning.
• Let the chocolate cool slightly before slicing and serving to prevent it from crumbling.
• This chocolate can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
