To melt, break the bar into smaller 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 interval. Once melted, it can be used for drizzling, coating, or incorporating into sauces and ganaches.
