Water is to chocolate what kryptonite is to superman. Just a tiny drop and melted chocolate seizes and becomes thick and grainy. So how do you fix seized chocolate? You add more liquid – while adding more kryptonite might kill superman it fixes chocolate. Try adding some hot cream and the chocolate will smooth out again just fine. Obviously you can no longer use it as set chocolate but it is makes a great gnache for cakes or chocolate sauce for puddings.

Hello Anne,
Which food colouring is best to add to the chocolate – gel or powder?
hi berni, you can use powder or oil based liquid colour, either is fine.
