To melt chocolate:
Place into microwave safe container and microwave on high 30 – 40 seconds. Stir. Continue this process until chocolate is completely melted. Use immediately.

Toasting walnuts:
Place nuts onto a sheet tray and bake 6-8 minutes at 350°. This process brings out the natural oils in the nut and increases their flavor
