To melt, gently heat the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave on low power, stirring frequently. Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause the chocolate to seize. Once melted, it can be used to create smooth ganaches for cakes and tarts, or drizzled over desserts. It can also be chopped and incorporated into cookie dough, brownie batter, or muffin mixes for bursts of intense chocolate flavor. For a simple indulgence, it can be broken into pieces and savored on its own.

How to keep the rest
