As suggested in the recipe you could use any chocolate for melting. Using a double boiler as Nancy described below is the best way to ensure the chocolate won't scorch.
I personally love using the microwave because, if you're careful, its just as fool proof, a bit faster and makes fewer dishes. Add your chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second bursts, mixing each time, until fully melted. To be triply safe I'll pull the chocolate once its almost entirely melted and let the heat of the bowl and the rest of the chocolate do the rest of the work.
For the best results I even stir in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil per cup of chocolate. That gets super velvety and helps to set the chocolate.
Two comments. As the ingredients list three types of chocolate to use (dark, milk and/or white), I would use any - what you have on hand or what you prefer Melting techniques * traditional, in a metal bowl over a pot of boiling or simmering water. * in the microwave. In contrast and for safety, in a ceramic or glass bowl.

Hope this helps.
