Avoid Moisture
Moisture ruins melted chocolate, so be sure to wipe down everything the chocolate may touch. And don't let even a tiny drop of water get into your chocolate; if you're dipping fruit, be sure to pat it dry before dipping it into the chocolate. When you're stirring chocolate, use a rubber or silicone spoon instead of a wooden spoon. Wooden spoons can retain moisture, which will cause the chocolate to seize up and turn clumpy.

Keep Your Heat Low
High heat will scorch your chocolate. Low and slow is the way to go.

How to Melt Chocolate on the Stove
This is considered the classic method for melting chocolate, and it just happens to be super easy to boot.
You'll Need:
Pot or double boiler
Heat-proof bowl that fits over the pot (because who has a double boiler?)
Heat-proof spoon or spatula (rubber or silicone is best)

Heat the water.
Pour a few inches of water into the pot. Fit the bowl over the pot, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Heat the ...
... water to a simmer.
Add chocolate and stir until melted.
Turn off the heat and add 2/3 of the chopped chocolate bar or chocolate chips to the bowl. Stir gently to melt. Add the remaining 1/3 of the chocolate a little at a time and stir gently to melt.
*Foodie Factoid: By melting a portion of the chocolate and then stirring in the rest, you've just used the "seeding" method to temper chocolate. That means the cocoa butter crystals have stabilized and the chocolate will be lusciously glossy. Learn more about tempering chocolate so it always turns out perfectly smooth and ultra glossy.

How to Melt Chocolate in a Microwave
If you're short on time, you can certainly melt chocolate in the microwave in less than a minute.
You'll need:
Microwave-safe bowl (a glass measuring cup with a handle works well)
Heat-proof spoon or spatula (rubber or silicone is best)

Microwave and stir.
Microwave chocolate for 30 seconds on HIGH. Remove and stir. Note: Chocolate pieces will retain their shape until you stir them, so don't rely on looks alone. (An excellent life lesson.)

Repeat until melted.
Repeat with 10- to 15-second blasts until most of the chocolate is melted. Remove from microwave and keep stirring until the residual heat melts the rest of the chocolate.

How to Melt Chocolate in a Crock Pot or Slow Cooker
A slow cooker, set on LOW heat, is perfect for melting chocolate and keeping it at just the right temperature while you dip a lot of cookies, pretzels, strawberries, etc.
You'll need:
Slow cooker or crock pot
Heat-proof spoon or spatula (rubber or silicone is best)

Add chocolate and set on LOW heat.
Add chocolate and set your slow cooker on LOW heat. Now all you need to do is stir it occasionally and keep an eye on it to make sure it's not getting too hot. If it does get too hot, turn off the slow cooker, remove the insert, and stir in a couple of pieces of unmelted chocolate to cool it down quickly.
