Use a double boiler on your stove or create one with a medium saucepan and a glass bowl — either method works with melting chocolate and almond bark. To make your own, add about an inch of water to the pan and bring it to a simmer. Place the bowl over the pan to create a seal, leaving space between the water and the bottom. Once the chocolate starts to soften, stir consistently until smooth and remove from the heat immediately.  Avoid getting any condensation in the chocolate, or it will become hard and crumbly. If that happens, you’ll need to start over with a fresh batch.
