than it doesn’t take much heat to melt it!

One guess as to what I’m talking about…

Chocolate!

Be careful when using a double boiler to melt chocolate, or even a microwave.  Don’t forget that although M & M’s had a clever little slogan – “Melts in your mouth, not in your hand” – it wasn’t true!  Those delicious little candies definitely melted in your hands if you held them for a while.

So, if chocolate melts easily in your hand and in a child’s pocket, it won’t take much heat for it to melt.

And it won’t take much heat to scald it.

A low simmer on the stove for a double boiler works great!
