Steps:

• 1. Set racks at the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 325°F.
• 2. Place the chocolates and butter in a bowl or the top of a double boiler and place over hot, not simmering, water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter have melted. Cool.

• SERVING.
• Chews are so rich, they are best on their own. Or try making them half size and serving them with ice cream for a really rich treat.
• STORAGE.
• Keep chews at room temperature in a tin or tight-lidded plastic container, or freeze them, packed between sheets of wax paper, for longer storage.
