How do you melt chocolate bark?

How do you fix soft chocolate bark?

If nothing extra was added to the melting chocolate, and it's still soft, then perhaps the chocolate wasn't heated to a high enough temperature to temper, or break down the crystals in the chocolate. The bark is still salvageable, though. Simply store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Can you overcook melting chocolate?

When chocolate melts, it is ideally a beautifully smooth, shiny, satiny mixture. ... One case is when chocolate comes into contact with even a small amount of water, which is called "seizing." Similarly, if chocolate is overheated, it will become quite thick and lumpy.

Overheated chocolate will lose the silky shine of melted chocolate and become thick and muddy. The best way to melt chocolate is to keep the water in a double boiler hot (but not boiling), and to employ a chocolate or instant-read thermometer while melting the chocolate.
