Thanks so much to both of you for your recommendations. I will look into the
Chocovision machine and getting myself a big marble slab =) I'm sure I can
find other uses for it... rolling pie dough or something maybe. And double
thanks for that warning about Baker's chocolate! I actually just bought a
bar thinking that would be more suitable to use (since it said specifically
on that packaging that it's for dipping) instead of regular eating
chocolate. That would probably also explain why it didn't melt smoothly when
I was attempting to make chocolate creme brulee last night... hmm..
