a double boiler should melt chocolate without a problem. Now it does take a lot longer than a microwave, but the result is a much better product too. You can add a little half and half to smooth it out, but it is not required.

When you say liquifying do you mean melting? What are you making, what are you using it for. Follow your recipe and instructions.

chocolate is tuff, you have to be carefull.
if using a double boiler you need to bring the bottom pot of water to a boil first…then add the second pot with chocolate and stir often…it shoudnt scorch or burn because you are using hot water to melt it. maybe you need to turn it up just a touch….

and no you dont add anything to the chocolate itself to make it melt, once its melted you can add your nuts or whatever you are doing .. like ingredients for fudge…etc…

good luck..
