I even use a double boiler like a fancy person! But my first batch of melted chocolate seized up. I thought, this is so thick, what could I add that would make it nicer? For some inexplicable reason I added corn syrup. Never add corn syrup. So then I made my loving father go to the store and pick up another bag of chocolate chips, which I overheate...
