A » To temper chocolate for a glossy finish, melt two-thirds of your chocolate over a double boiler to 110-115°F. Remove from heat, add the remaining chocolate, and stir until the temperature cools to 88-90°F for dark and 86-88°F for milk or white chocolate. Maintain this temperature while dipping or molding. This process stabilizes cocoa butter crystals, ensuring a smooth, shiny finish and crisp snap.

A »To temper chocolate, melt 2/3 of it to around 105°F (40°C), then cool it to about 82°F (28°C). Reheat it to around 90°F (32°C) for dark or 86°F (30°C) for milk chocolate. This process gives chocolate a glossy finish and a satisfying snap when broken.
