If you are using good quality, block-style White Chocolate, then I would absolutely just use a double boiler. You can use a microwave, but do it in slow bursts on 50% power, stirring often.<br /><br />If we are talking about white chocolate chips, you'll need to add a bit of shortening to smooth it out and help the chips melt.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-19415393024763015162010-11-07T10:55:59.042-05:002010-11-07T10:55:59.042-05:00Just saw this link over on another site I frequent...Just saw this link over on another site I frequent -- WDW for Grownups -- and was so excited to see one of my favorite food blogs pop up!<br /><br />Question: What's the best way to melt that chocolate for the ritz bitz guys? I've tried several different ways, but usually end up with a sticky mess. Is it just "double boiler it up?" Do you add anything to the chocolate?<br /><br />Ah, inspiration!

I was looking for easy, yummy treats to make for my co-workers. Your "Holiday Baking Spee" is perfect! I am going to make your two-toned fudge, chocolate covered Ritz bits, and Kahlua Pecans. They sound so delicious and yet fairly easy.I plan to buy inexpensive Christmas containers and fill them with these goodies!
