How do you melt white chocolate chips in the microwave

Double Boiler Method Place a dry, shallow, heat-safe mixing bowl over the saucepan. Add white chocolate to the mixing bowl. Turn on the stove to medium heat. As the water begins to simmer and release steam, the steam will heat the chocolate and the chocolate will begin to melt.

Compared to bars, white chocolate chips tend to have a lower amount of cocoa butter which makes them more resistant to heat. If a white chocolate has a low fat content, roughly about 30%, then it will retain its shape no matter how long you microwave, even after melting.

If they don't melt just put the bowl back over the saucepan of hot water for a minute or two. Seized chocolate can occasionally be rescued by whisking in a small pat of butter.

Since it's not real chocolate, but a combination of sugar, milk, cocoa butter, vanilla and fat, it doesn't melt as easy as milk or dark chocolate. It has a lower melting point and is a little trickier to melt.
