I don't advise that you use the more select couverture chocolate for your first attempt, as this most excellent chocolate, made from pure cocoa butter is very sensitive to temperature variations and has to go through a heat treating procedure (called tempering) before use. Whichever type you use, it is always important to use only good quality chocolate.
