If you don’t have a double boiler, what do you do? You could microwave it, but it’s kinda tricky to not burn the chocolate and get it to the right warmth for melting. Putting your chocolate chunks in a pot on direct stove top heat can also be dangerous and you may end up burning the chocolate as well. I recommend putting a glass pyrex measuring cup in a pot of water, filled 2/3 full. It won’t take long to get the water hot enough to melt the chocolate. It’s pretty easy to clean (especially if you have kids that want to lick all the extra chocolate out of the dish!)

It’s a custom mold of a “fat kid”, made into a lollipop by artist Viviane Le Courtois.

I can’t decide whether or not to eat it. What do you think? Should I eat it?
