you can place a bowl over a pot of hot water as a substitute for a double boiler. just make sure the bowl is larger than the pot.

these sound pretty good and also fun for kids to make... gonna give them a try.

I overly browned my chips, I had two pyrex lasagne dishes in there working as a double boiler, but toget the water boiling, I had to turn up the oven quite a bit. Then DUH, I realized that I could do all that BEFORE putting the chips in. IDIOT. But my first ever batch came out darker and a bit more caramelly than my mom's but you see the mistakes I made. But however you get your stuff melted, these are GOOD!
