    I don’t own a double boiler. Is there another way to melt the chocolate?

    1. Awesome question! Usually I use two pots. One pot should be slightly larger than the other. Fill the larger pot roughly halfway full with water and place the smaller pot inside. The smaller pot should be slightly floating. This will create the same effect as a double boiler. 😉
