Fill a saucepan with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Place a slightly smaller, heat-safe bowl on top of the saucepan. Place chocolate in the smaller bowl and keep mixing it frequently, ensuring that all the chocolate melts consistently. This can take 2-3 minutes. When done, melted chocolate should be glossy, but liquid and smooth. This technique of melting chocolate is called the double boiler method.
