Tiffany, I seem to have better success when melting chocolate in a pan on the stove on low heat. If needed, you can keep the pan on the lowest heat while working.

When microwaving chocolate chips, however, make sure to heat at a low heat like 40% to 50% for short amounts of time and stir frequently, which it sounds like ypu did. If you heat it too much it will burn and clump. If you get any water in it (and I mean even 1 drop) it will cause it to seize and harden. I have heard adding a few drops of vegetable oil will keep it from hardening so quickly. Also, you could but the bowl of melted chocolate on a warmed heating pad to keep it melted.

Best secario, though, is to head it in a pan on the stove. Hope this helps.

I tried this and the white chocolate chips went from melted to hardened before I could even put one donut hole in it. I did microwave the chocolate chips though. However I did it slowly and stirred frequently but it still did not work.
