the best way to melt chocolate would be on a double boiler. That is take a pan and boil water in it. once boiled place the chocolate in another pan slightly smaller than the previous and place this onto the pan with the boiling water. allow the water to simmer and mix the chocolate with a wooden spatula... helpin it to melt... do not let the chocolate boil. an alternative would be to heat the chocolate in the microwave at low heat fo 30-45 seconds... and then for 10 seconds repeatedly checkin every time to see if its melted. do remember that the chocolate might not visually look melted so stir with a spoon to check each time Chef........
Yes you can burn chocolate, but it doesn't taste good. yes, if you put it in a microwave (with a heat dial) and turn it to fullit will start to smoke and turn black in the corners and go crunchy. i found this out by accident and was worried whenn i saw lots of dark smoke coming from my microwave. =)
No, if you've burnt chocolate it means that you have 'over-melted' the chocolate, so if you melt it even more it will just carry on burning.
The Answer:
No.no
It really depends on the amount of chocolate you are trying to melt.
Use a double boiler when heating the chocolate. Use your biggest pot and fill it with water and bring it a boil. Put a stainless steel mixing bowl on the top and melt it in the bowl. The steam will heat the food while greatly reducing the chance of it burning.
The chocolate is easier to melt than the peanut butter filling and because the chocolate is on the outside.
The microwave or the stovetop will melt chocolate the fastest.

We Melt Chocolate because we like melted Chocolate. Also you dip fruit in once it is melted. You could put it on Ice Cream or Pancakes Waffles. And also it is very nice. So I guess that is why we melt Chocolate.
if you melt it
yes it does
A furnace.
Because the heat has a much larger surface area on which it can act upon to melt the chocolate
The fats make the chocolate melt quickly. A common fat used in chocolate is cocoa butter.
