Guittard chocolate semi-sweet chips can be melted on the stove, in a fondue fountain,
or in the microwave. Instructions are printed on each bag. We use the chips for our medium bodied ganache for truffles.
Use semi-sweet chips in scones & muffins too. Guittard dark semi-sweet chips are best stored in a cool & dry place for 1 year.
Note: A natural process called "blooming" takes effect on the chocolate with change in temperature. Blooming looks like white streaks, but it is a natural process of the sugar separating from the chocolate. It will remedy itself when melted and it does NOT effect the flavor. Chocolate is shipped at customer's risk during hot weather.
Guittard's semi-sweet chips are stored in a climate controlled environment.

Melting - In order to avoid scorching the chocolate, microwave chocolate in 30-second intervals using microwave safe bowls. Stir in-between intervals to distribute the heat. Keep chocolate at a constant temperature to produce a smooth professional look. You can purchase a griddle, or use your stove top and frying pan. Lay two towels on the pan or griddle before placing the chocolate filled plastic bowl.
