How To Melt Chocolate In The Microwave
It’s best to melt the chocolate slowly when you use the microwave. Heat it up for 30 seconds at a time, stirring it really well after each rotation.
You could also melt the chocolate on the stove using a double broiler. Do what works for you, just go slow so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
How To Store Valentine’s Day Popcorn
When you make homemade sweet candied popcorn, you should store it in a sealed, airtight container. This will help the popcorn from going stale.
You can also store it in smaller bags. Just make sure you keep the air off of it.
The popcorn will stay fresh for up to a week.
