Good Evening!

I am a beginner in the "chocolate life". I think perhaps I am over my head in joining this site butI am hopingin doing so ,I can learn some new things.

I do have a question perhaps a silly one but none the less, I don't know the answer. I received bulk chocolate the other day and due to the summer temperatures it arrived a bit soft. I assume it is out of temper. Do I have to melt and temperall the chocolate and let it solidify then melt and temper again to cover candy? Any help would be greatly appreciated

No, just temper what you need. There's no reason to temper all the chocolate, and then re-do it. I have all kinds of bloomed chocolate, and I just temper as needed.

Thank you so much for your reply. I am sure I will have many more questions in the future.
