I think I just give it 20 sec at a time, stir then another 20 sec stir then 10 sec. You can usually tell when it's almost done.

The best way to melt chocolate is in the mouth with your eyes closed while making "mmmmmm" noises ;) ;)

This is what I do with cooking dark chocolate. I use the WW Macro organic one.
cook 3 minutes 50° Speed 3.
Exercise is a dirty word... Every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate

It will work Hally.
Use a spatula for spreading on the slice.
