In a microwave you have to put it on 50 % power, I make candy for different occasions, If you have an electric skillet you cna put water in it and put you chocolate in glass containers in the pan. Keep the pan turned about and the water will keep the chocolate melted. Just be sure to not let any water into chocolate. I am able to keep several colors of chocolate melted at the same time this way.

1. Double boiler method: A double boiler is basically two pots designed to fit together for melting wand warming fragile foods. the bottom pot hold a bit of water - never enough to touch the bottom of the second pot, the top hold the food, in this case chocolate. You should never place chocolate directly on a heat source, you run the risk of scorching it.
Best to use small pieces of chocolate. Adjust the heat so that the water in the bottom pot gets hot but doesn't begin to boil. Place the chocolate in the top pot and stir every so often. Dark and bittersweet chocolate are the most "hardy" forms of chocolate, they will require less stirring than milk and white chocolate, which will burn very easily if you do not pay close attention.
Second method
2. Microwave method: Place small pieces of chocolate into a microwave proof bowl and heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl, stir what you can then return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds. Continue this until the chocolate is just about melted. You might be tempted to increase the time intervals, but remember that warmed chocolate will keep its shape, even if it is melted, unless it is stirred. Don't judge time on looks alone. when the chocolate is almost completely melted, remove it from the microwave and stir, letting the warmth of the bowl and surrounding chocolate complete the melting.
