As an impatient person, working with chocolate is a good life lesson for me. I can't tell you how many times my chocolate has separated because I wasn't patient enough. I tried the seeding method for the first time in December for dipping my peppermint crunch marshmallows. It's the first time I've succeeded in tempering. Seeding method from now on for me! Thanks for giving me a good source to go back to for the step-by-step. Keeping the chocolate at the right temperature while working is also a challenge; thanks for the tips--I like the heating pad and hairdryer ideas. Hooray, Andrea! Chocolate can be humbling, but as with any worthwhile quest, the rewards are very satisfying! Susan
