Reserve 1/4 cup of the chopped chocolate.

Ingredients you will need

Chocolate

Pour the rest into a glass bowl and melt in the microwave at 50 percent power for 1 minute. Stir gently, and let sit for a minute or so. If the chocolate needs more melting, microwave again at half power for 30 seconds. Stir gently. Continue the process, stirring gently as you go. But be very careful not to overcook the chocolate.

Bowl

Temper the melted chocolate by stirring in the reserved 1/4 cup of chopped chocolate as it cools. This will 're-emulsify' the chocolate and enable it to harden at room temperature.

Ingredients you will need

Chocolate

Using a teaspoon, spoon a portion of the chocolate into the middle of a muffin cup. Draw the chocolate up the edges of the cup with the back of the spoon (or you can paint the chocolate on with a small paintbrush). Coat the entire inside of the muffin cup with chocolate and place it into a muffin tin. Repeat with the remaining muffin cups and then put the whole muffin tin in the refrigerator so that the chocolate hardens.
