    Im so excited that I learned how to temper chocolate in the microwave! I'm never going to do it any other way again! If you're skimming this video, just remember that you have to use REAL chocolate with cocoa butter in it for this to work and to never let your chocolate get above 90ºF :-D

I attended a chocolaterie course a year ago and they were never able to make me understand what makes tempering a success or a fail. I failed so many times with the first two methods, I gave up working with tempered chocolate. You opened a whole new world for me! Method #3 worked! Quickly, easily and most importantly, it worked!!!
