- If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, or it will seize up and become unusable.
- If the chocolate is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or oil to thin it out.
- Be sure to let the chocolate clusters cool completely before eating them, or they will be too soft and gooey.
- You can store the chocolate clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
