Yep I had that problem Hally, I now just melt my chocolate in the microwave.
-
Dede, how long for
-
I think I just give it 20 sec at a time, stir then another 20 sec stir then 10 sec. You can usually tell when it's almost done.
-
The best way to melt chocolate is in the mouth with your eyes closed while making "mmmmmm" noises ;) ;)
-
This is what I do with cooking dark chocolate. I use the WW Macro organic one.
cook 3 minutes 50° Speed 3.
-
I like Amy's idea....
-
Dg i did that, 1st attemt, 2nd attempt 2 mins with cream added.
Grunge, gotta laugh, i was hoping to take some to school for the 2 teachers who are doing parent interviews today.
-
Yes but you cant use it on the slice then.......
-
Melt some more in the microwave slowly and put on top.
-
You reckon that would work. I still have some chcolate left.
Better get a wiggle on, dh home in an hour & my oh my the kitchen looks mmmm.... He has never seen it like ths. As I said before chocolate & I are messy.
:)
-
It will work Hally.
Use a spatula for spreading on the slice.
-
maybe its to late now H but i find the varoma easier than the M/W
-
Hi Uni, are you ok.
-
What a great idea Uni. Never thought of that.
-
Hi Uni, are you ok.
all good thanks bella
-
Wow uni, thats looks great. Have done another layer, its on ice in the freezer.
Made this for the olds, so back up plan, can take a slice in for each teacher. The olds were happy with a slice each.

Yummy Hally
-
Hally that looks good. Is the recipe here?
-
I always melt in the microwave, at 50% power only.
Start at 30 secs, stir then keep heating at 5-10 second intervals & stir until it's melted.
-
Not so bad, thanks All

-
I Gotta go home soon and start cooking....
-
You will be loved by the teachers Hally. They both look lovely.
-
Yes cookie they did.
DG, its i love bimby cake, no coca powder but cookies.
-
I only ever melt in the microwave, 30 secs to start, stir and then in 10 sec intervals stirring well in between.
-
Well done Hally, you did a really good job. They both look fantastic :D
-
Hally the slice looks great. As to the choc problem, if choc gets any moisture in while melting the result will be that grainy product that you experienced (same occurs if you dip a wet spoon into a bowl of sugar!!) We direct students to the Elements of Chocolate (http://acselementsofchocolate.typepad.com/elements_of_chocolate/Chocolate.html) site to discover the ups and downs of cooking with chocolate! :) :)
