You add unmelted chocolate callets (purpose-made chocolate chips) or finely chopped chocolate to already-melted chocolate to bring the temperature down.

In the shops and bakery we use chocolate callets (or chips) in our baking. They come in a range of cocoa percentages and have the great advantage of melting evenly, which makes the chocolate less temperamental to work with.

We call for chocolate chips in our Chocolate Chip Cookies (page 1010), but there's another chocolate product on the market that's sometimes used for the same purpose: chocolate callets, which are formulated for melting.
