If you have a microwave, a few quick zaps will do it. Place the chocolate in a microwaveable bowl and give it a few 30 second blasts, stirring after each blast until melted. If you don't have a microwave, you can melt chocolate using the Double Boiler Method. This is when you place the chocolate in a large bowl, then place this bowl over a simmering pot of water. This prevents the chocolate from burning.
