be sure there absolutely no water in the container or pan, it will cause the chocolate to seize. You can melt it in the microwave, carefully, or in a bowl over barely simmering water. Be careful to NOT over heat the chocolate.
You can thin chocolate for dipping by adding Parmount crystals, or a bit of shortening-tsp at a time.
Once I have my chocolate melted, I always add just a drop of liquid Crisco into it. Then just stir it until it's mixed well. Be sure to just start with a small amount (1/2 teaspoon or even less) because you can always add more Crisco until it's the consistency that you want it to be.
