To melt the chocolate, break it into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir gently until smooth, ensuring no water gets into the chocolate. For baking, chop the bar into desired sizes. It can be folded into batters, doughs, or used to create ganaches and mousses.
