Chef's Tips/Tricks:
For a "no mess" method of melting chocolate chips for piping, try placing chips into disposable plastic piping bags, then carefully inserting half way into a bowl of hot water, making sure not to let any water into the bags as this will ruin the chocolate! Adult supervision is advised.
