Chocolate cornflake cakes?

Question

Answer 1

chocolate is actual hard to melt. EG it is very easy to burn unless you use a double boiler.

Answer 2

the best way to melt chocolate is over a double boiler.  This is a smaller pan or bowl placed over a pot of boiling water just so the bottom touches.  You can not burn the chocolate this way.  Not all things that look or sound easy.....are!  Trial and error.  you'll get it.

Answer 3

melt it over water  

Answer 4

i boil a pan of water on the hob and over the top i place a glass oven proof dish with my chocolate in and keep stirring it until it melts. then i take the bowl off the pan and stir in the cornflakes.

then leave them to set.

Answer 5

you have to use cooking chocolate otherwise it will burn, doesnt cost alot (:

Answer 6

chocolate can be really difficult to work with. Melt is slowly over water in a separate bowl (don't let the bowl touch the water directly).

Always be gently with chocolate, that's the trick
