      So I know this is the 21st century....but I don’t have a microwave! Could I just do this on the stovetop? And if so, would you recommend I use a double boiler?
      Thanks!

        Hi Lilian - Yes, you can do this on the stovetop! A double boiler would work, but you can also do this at low heat, stirring often until almost all chips are melted. Remove from heat and stir until completely dissolved and smooth.
