Why does the melted chocolate seize when I add it to the butter? The butter had been at room temp for hours. The chocolate had cooled to almost room temp (79-80). Using kitchen aid mixer with paddle attachment. Taste is on point, just not texture.

Strong brewed or instant powder?
Thank you!

added to the smooth buttercream frosting batter at the end becomes chunky / hardened once I begin to incorporate the melted chocolate into the batter. Could this be because the melted chocolate was melted at too high a temperature?
This has happened each time I make the chocolate BC.
Thank you for your tutorials!

I am a new Baker & I need your help& expertise!
Question:
each time I have melted the dark chocolate baking chips( Guittard Baking chips) & then cooled the melted smooth chocolate on the counter to a not “too warm “ temp, & then add it to the batter & stir, it clumps up in little chunks & makes the frosting batter lumpy & grainy. The chunks of chocolate also adhere to the stainless steel mixing bowl. Should the melted chocolate be added while it’s very warm; almost hot?
Thank you!

I only have a few ounces of chocolate at home. Should I add that even though it’s not the full 8 ounces? I assume any amount is better than none? I discovered your site recently and think it’s one of the best.
Many thanks!

@Jamie, I also had this problem! I thought perhaps it was because my ingredients/mixing bowl was too cold so the chocolate solidified before mixing but I’ve tried it twice now and it happened both times!
