Combine the chopped chocolate and butter pieces in a heatproof bowl set over a small saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
