"Warm, melty chocolate is a delightful treat just about any time of year, but none more so than during the fall and winter seasons. There are so many uses for melted chocolate and almost as many methods by which you can achieve the perfectly smooth texture using your favorite chocolate bars, melting discs, and more. If you've got the time to spare and need to melt a sizable amount of chocolate for later use, this is one unexpected food to try in your slow cooker ASAP."
"Rather than using a double boiler on the stovetop or risking inconsistent microwave heating, your slow cooker is the secret to evenly melted chocolate and a number of decadent chocolate desserts. To properly melt chocolate in your slow cooker, you will employ a double-boiler-style technique that's fairly hands-off. Place your preferred style of melting chocolate in a bowl in the bottom of a slow cooker surrounded by a thin layer of water that doesn't reach higher than the bowl."
Warm, melty chocolate suits fall and winter and offers many culinary uses. A slow cooker produces evenly melted chocolate and supports a variety of decadent desserts. Use a double-boiler-style setup by placing chocolate in a bowl set into the slow cooker and surrounding the bowl with a thin layer of water that does not rise above the bowl. Run the cooker on high with the lid off to avoid condensation. Melting takes roughly 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on quantity, with occasional stirring. Use the melted chocolate for hot chocolate, cakes, dips, or slow-cooker cakes cooked about two hours.
