* Bain Marie: Place the chocolate chips + coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. The base of the bowl should sit above the water without touching it. Once the water begins to boil, turn heat off and keep stirring while allowing the chocolate, together with the coconut oil, to melt until it is smooth, shiny and glossy.
