Are there any children out there who don’t like chocolate? How many adult chocaholics are there out there? Lots! This week’s recipe is for you. All kids love it – guaranteed. And the adults too. There are very few tricks with this recipe, other than using a low heat to melt the chocolate. It is a case of doing it slowly and carefully. It is possible to burn chocolate if you have the temperature too high. Many cooks will use two pans for this purpose, with the inner pan sitting in the hot water being heated by the outer pan, but just a little care will get you through.
