Featured Answer by BetterRecipes's Jennifer - BetterRecipes Food Expert

 

Tempering chocolate ensures that the cocoa butter in the chocolate melts slowly. Tempered chocolate will set up at room temperature better than chocolate heated without this method and will be less likely to "bloom" or streak.
