Yes, you can absolutely melt your chocolate over the stovetop! What you'll want to do is grab a small pot and fill it halfway with water, then place it over a medium heat. Next, grab a glass or metal bowl and place the chocolate chips in the bowl. Once the pot of water has begun to boil, stack the bowl of chocolate chips on top of the pot boiling water and allow the steam to melt your chocolate. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and stir as the chocolate melts.
