Before you start


You need a medium-size pot filled halfway with water. Bring this to a boil in order to melt your chocolate, this is called a bain-marie. A shortcut is to microwave your chocolate and butter mix until both are melted.

You will also need:

  • a small mixing bowl
  • a whisk
  • a rubber spatula
  • a small baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper
