Stir the chocolate occasionally the way it melts that has a wooden spoon. As soon as the chocolate is melted, take away the bowl in the heat into a chopping board or some other heatproof surface.
Add the crushed walnuts plus the pinch of ginger to your chocolate and stir in anticipation of having a thick, crumbly mix.
