Imperial Sugar Insight

Temper pure semi-sweet chocolate by melting 12 ounces until it reaches 110-115°F. Stir remaining 4 ounces of chocolate into melted chocolate. Continue to stir chocolate until it cools to 90°F. Remove any un-melted chocolate. Test chocolate by dipping a spoon or metal spatula into chocolate to coat it with a very thin layer of chocolate. If is hardens in a few minutes, chocolate is tempered.
