To effectively temper chocolate in the microwave, chop the chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in short intervals, stirring well between each interval, until it is mostly melted. Continue stirring until the chocolate is smooth and shiny. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as this can cause it to lose its temper.
