Notes
If you don't have a double boiler, you can make your own by placing a glass bowl over a pot of water. Or to make clean up even easier, you can place the ingredients straight into the jar that you are going to store it in and place the jar into a pot of simmering water to melt the ingredients. You can also use a crockpot to melt the ingredients.
