Place a medium saucepan on the stove and add 1-2 inches of water to the pan. Over medium heat, bring the water to a simmer.
Place a dry, shallow, heat-safe mixing bowl over the saucepan. Then, add the chocolate to the bowl.
As the chocolate melts, stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula until all the chocolate has melted.
Once the chocolate is melted it is ready to use.
