2. Then, place the two chocolates into two separate glass bowls, place over a pot of hot water and let melt, you can also melt alternatively in a microwave, ensuring to mix around every 10 to 15 seconds, watch carefully, especially the white chocolate so it doesn’t burn. (You can flavour your chocolate should you like with the rind and juice of an orange, Tia maria, Cream Liquor etc)
