You need to look for sugar-free chocolate and chocolate chips.

Melting Chocolate

Don’t let melting chocolate intimidate you. There are two easy methods you can use to melt chocolate depending on your equipment and preference. You can use my personal favorite, the microwave, or you can use the double boiler method.To melt chocolate in the microwave, add you chocolate to a glass bowl. Pop the chocolate into the microwave and heat at full power at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted.If you don’t want to use a microwave, you can melt the chocolate on the stove top using the double boiler method. Simply place a saucepan containing 1 to 2 cups of water on the burner. Heat on high until boiling. Then place a non-plastic bowl on top of the saucepan. Make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the boiling water. Put the chocolate in the bowl and stir while the steam below the bowl melts the chocolate.
