Need Help with melted chocolate

[Anonymous]

I am making cake pops and need to dip the cake pop ball into melted chocolate.
I tried just 1 tonight - and am wondering:
-Can I re-melt the chocolate which I already melted and is now completely solid?
-Is it possible to "thin" the melted chocolate?
It seemed so thick!
Thanks!

Yes, you can remelt the chocolate.

If you want to thin it, add a little milk or cream--but is it the right texture when solid? If it is, don't think it more. But you can heat it a little more to thin it more.

ITA - you can totally remelt it.

However, I'd recommend using a very small amount of vegetable oil or shortening to thin the chocolate. Something along the lines of 1-2 tsp per cup of chocolate.

Have fun!

you should also temper the chocolate when you melt it so that you dont get the discoloration that comes from untempered chocolate. You can google that.
