When melting chocolate on a stovetop, use a confectionary thermometer. Chocolate is very sensitive to high temperatures. Dark chocolate should never be heated above 120 degrees, while milk and white chocolates should never be heated above 110 degrees. Overheated chocolate can become thick and difficult to work with.
If your chocolate does overheat, cool it quickly by removing it from the heat source and stirring in a handful of unmelted chocolate chunks. If it’s still too thick, try adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil to achieve a smoother consistency.
