Melted chocolate on a double boiler is a good base for fondue or cream. This is the simplest, homemade way to melt chocolate. If you want to make chocolate candies, it will not work for you.

Place the chocolate on a heavy cutting board and chop very finely. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

Place the bowl of chocolate in a pan of hot water. Place on low heat (the water should not boil too much). Stir with a wooden spatula until completely dissolved, 2–3 minutes.

Place the bowl of chocolate in a bowl filled with ice. Stir until the chocolate cools to body temperature. This is the optimal temperature for working with melted chocolate.

Buns stuffed with mushrooms are a fragrant, hearty, and comforting dish, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a warm dinner. In an air fryer, the buns turn out especially appetizing: with a crispy, golden crust and a tender, juicy filling inside. If you don't have an air fryer, no problem – these buns bake wonderfully in the oven too, retaining their rich flavor and pleasant texture.

The mushroom filling is juicy and aromatic, with a subtle mushroom note and a creamy undertone. To make the dish even more interesting, you can add garlic, herbs, cream, or a little chicken fillet to the mushrooms.

Besides button mushrooms, other types of mushrooms are also suitable: oyster mushrooms, wild porcini, birch boletes, or chanterelles. Each type of mushroom will give the dish its own special aroma and character, making the stuffed buns a truly homemade and delicious treat.
