 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    4      ounces        semisweet chocolate
    2      ounces        unsweetened chocolate
    3      ounces        unsalted butter -- (6 tablespoons)
 
 Chop the chocolate into matchsticksize pieces with a chef's knife on a dry
 cutting board. Place
 first the butter, then the chocolate pieces in the top portion of a 1 1/2
 quart double boiler (or a 1
 quart mixing bowl that fits snugly over a saucepan or another mixing bowl).
 Fill the bottom
 vessel half full with hot tap water (120130 degrees) and place the
 chocolate/butter bowl on top to
 melt. You may put the double boiler on the stove over a very low flame just
 to maintain the
 water's temperature while melting the mixture if you wish. Stir occasionally
 to blend until the
 mixture is smooth, shiny and liquid. Remove from the water, and set aside.
 Yield: one scant cup
