Step 3

Prepare a double boiler by filling a small saucepan with an inch of water. Bring the water to a simmer and place a glass heatproof bowl larger than the saucepan on top. If using a chocolate bar, finely chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Place two-thirds, about 5 ounces, of the chopped dark chocolate in the bowl and gently stir until the chocolate melts.
