To melt the chocolate, break it into small, even pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir gently until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in short bursts, stirring between each, until melted. Once melted, it can be used for coating fruits, making ganaches, or as a base for sauces. For baking, chop the bar into desired sizes to add texture and rich chocolate flavor to cookies, cakes, and brownies.
