Next melt the chocolate. Break it up into small pieces and place into a medium sized bowl. Fill a small pot with two inches of water and bring to a low simmer. Place the bowl of chocolate on top of the pot (double boiler method). The water in the pot should not touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir the chocolate occasionally until it melts, about 7-10 minutes.
