Chocolate Melting

In liquifying chocolate, it is the cocoa butter, the fat, that is actually getting melted – changing from solid to liquid state. Because of the triglyceride composition of cocoa butter, it melts over a temperature range (~90-120°F), not just one single point. This is what makes chocolate so palatable, and for this reason melting is in important part of handling and tempering chocolate.
