razor_sharp_redhead question : chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate is always too soft If I semisweet chocolate chips for nothing (melt this time, it pretzles was covered with chocolate), I add oil, because the is what my mother always did. She always told me what keeps the chocolate from burning and lumps. The problem is that no matter how cold it is or is set how long I leave it, it is still very soft and melts in your hands! I Add in too much oil? I still need to add oil when melting chocolate ~ Best answer:?
response from EJ
No, “no need to add oil, melt the chocolate slowly over low heat in a water bath (2 ovens, a less hot water filled) and you should not have a melty mess again
