How to melt chocolate in the microwave:

Melting chocolate can be difficult. When melting it, there are a few things to know so you don’t ruin it, or damage it in any way.

White Chocolate Monster Munch Chex Mix Recipe (7)
  1. Don’t add moisture. Make sure your bowl and spoon are free of moisture or water droplets. Make sure there is no water from the washer, left behind. This will ruin the texture of the chocolate.
  2. Evenly sized chocolate pieces. Your chocolate will cook evenly if it is in smaller equal pieces. If you are using a bark, some chocolate will melt faster than other areas. This could cause burned chocolate particles which could effect all of the melted chocolate.We recommend using chocolate chips, or chopping up chocolate bark into bits.
  3. Mix frequently. Don’t microwave the chocolate all at once. Microwave it in 20-30 second increments, stirring it every time you remove it from the microwave.At first the chocolate will still be in its form, but with each time increment, it will soften and melt. Continue to stir.

    Hahaha, my first thought on reading this recipe name was really not a good one! In the UK Monster Munch is a brand of heavily flavoured artificial savory snacks, like cheesy puffs - that would be so gross! Thankfully this looks a lot nicer!

  2. Phillip Mosley says:

    This Monster Munch recipe is looking easy and yummy! I will definitely try this at mu home. Thanks for share.

  3. Carole Resnick says:

    The kids will love it. So will the adults.

  5. Jess says:

    This sounds so tasty and is so festive!Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!

  6. Donald Gibbs says:

    A super delicious recipe I have ever seen! I am die hard fan of chocolates. I will surely try this. Thanks for sharing.

  7. gina says:

    Love this! Do you have to add the oil to the Chocolate? If so what is it's purpose? Does the chocolate stay hard when cooled? Thanks!

  8. Cyd says:

    The chocolate is easier to stir in if you add just a little bit of oil. The chocolate will harden after it cools. You could leave it out but we have had better success with the oil. You can reduce the oil to 1 tablespoon and it should still work great.

  9. Susan says:

    I don't think Candy Corn M&M's are available this year, at least I can't find them. They're not even on Amazon. What would you suggest as a substitute?

  10. Camille Beckstrand says:

    I was looking for them at my grocery store too and couldn't find them anywhere! Any M&M's will work, but I especially like the peanut butter M&M's in this recipe. The flavor works with the salty/sweet combo that is going on. They do have a Halloween bag of peanut butter M&M's that I saw at the store, so the colors will at least look great! :)

  11. Linda Anderson says:

    I was wondering how much candy corn is used. I saw it listed above the recipe but not in the actual recipe. Thank you

  12. Suzanne says:

    How much candy corn do you use? Can you also add in those candy corn pumpkins?

  13. Momma Cyd says:

    You didn't scroll down quite far enough. It will give you the full recipe. It calls for 2 cups of candy corns. You can use the pumpkins, but they won't be spread out as much in the mix since they are bigger.

  14. Momma Cyd says:

    It's 2 cups of candy corn.
